Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has made a remarkable recovery from the ankle injury that threatened to keep him out for a prolonged period and is set to be involved against Crystal Palace this weekend.
There were fears the Brazilian was looking at months on the sidelines after exiting St James’ Park on crutches following Sunday’s 1-0 win over Fulham. He rolled his ankle in the first half and played on for 25 minutes before leaving the pitch in tears.
Sportsmail revealed on Monday that a subsequent scan had shown no serious damage and there was hope he could be back before the end of the month.
