Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was absent from their training session ahead of their Champions League clash against Athletic Club, Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie has confirmed. The Magpies are preparing for an important game against Athletic Club on Wednesday evening, as they look to continue their impressive start in the competition. Eddie Howe's side have won two of their three games in Europe this season, with their only defeat coming against Barcelona. Howe will want his best players available for this one, especially after a disappointing result at the weekend. They'll be desperate to bounce back after suffering a 3-1 defeat away to West Ham United, meaning they sit in 13th place in the Premier League table after 10 games. Bruno Guimaraes Absent From Newcastle Training According to reliable journalist Downie, Guimaraes was absent from Newcastle's training session ahead of their game against Athletic Club. The Brazilian midfielder has been suffering from a 'slight illness', but he could be fit enough to face Athletic Club in the Champions League on Tuesday.
