Newcastle United injury news: The latest on Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton & co ahead of Brentford clash.
Newcastle United suffered yet another major injury scare on Wednesday night when Anthony Gordon limped off with a suspected hamstring injury.
Eddie Howe’s side were trailing Manchester City at the time and would ultimately go on to be defeated 3-1 on the night and 5-1 on aggregate. The games, though, keep coming thick-and-fast for them with a clash against Brentford awaiting them on Saturday evening (5:30pm kick-off).
Will Howe be able to welcome back any injured players for that game - a list that currently includes their captain, Bruno Guimaraes. Here, we take a look at Newcastle United’s current injury list and when those sidelined players could be expected back in action.

Fabian Schar - ankle injury
Schar suffered a fairly serious ankle injury against Leeds United last month, although initial prognosis on the injury was not as severe as first thought. There is hope he can return to action before the end of the season, although he still has a long road to recovery.
Estimated return date - Bournemouth (h) 18/04/26
Joelinton - groin injury
A groin injury has kept Joelinton out of action since their defeat against Aston Villa. The Brazilian is facing ‘weeks rather than months’ on the sidelines according to Eddie Howe.

Estimated return date - Chelsea (a) 14/03/26
Bruno Guimaraes - ankle injury
Newcastle United will be desperate to have their captain back in their team once again. Guimaraes has now missed their last four matches in all competitions - his side haven’t won a single one of those.
Speaking ahead of Newcastle’s trip to the Etihad Stadium, Howe provided an update on Guimaraes’ injury, stating: “Bruno's doing well. Don't think he'll make this game, but there's a chance for the weekend.”
Estimated return date - Brentford (h) 07/02/26
Emil Krafth - knee injury
Krafth hasn’t featured for Newcastle United since their defeat against West Ham at the London Stadium at the beginning of November. There has not been a timeframe placed on his return to action.
Estimated return date - unknown
Anthony Gordon - hamstring injury
Newcastle United’s injury worries grew exponentially on Wednesday night when Gordon limped off the Etihad Stadium turf with a suspected hamstring injury.
“Looks like a hamstring problem, I don't quite know how bad it is,” Howe said after the defeat to Pep Guardiola’s side. “It was enough for him to come off, so that's a worry.”
Estimated return date - unknown
Lewis Miley - knee injury
Howe revealed after the defeat to Liverpool on the weekend that Miley had suffered a knee injury, but included him on the bench that day in case he was fit enough to feature. Miley missed out entirely against Manchester City but there is hope that he can be fit enough to feature this weekend.
Estimated return date - Brentford (h) 07/02/26
