"Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes trained at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's crunch Champions League clash with holders Paris Saint-Germain, but fellow midfielder Joelinton faces weeks on the sideline with a groin injury. Guimaraes missed Sunday's 2-0 home Premier League loss to Aston Villa with an ankle injury he suffered in the 3-0 win over PSV Eindhoven in the Magpies' final league phase home game in the Champions League."
"That victory ensured Newcastle will feature in the knockout rounds and will likely be seeded in the playoff round if they do not finish in the top eight. However, a surprise win over PSG would seal a top-eight finish and send Newcastle straight into the last 16. Having Guimaraes available would be a huge boost to Newcastle's hopes of upsetting the odds, with his potential speedy return from injury made all the more important by Joelinton's latest setback."
