Newcastle United skipper Bruno Guimaraes will cut a frustrated figure in the stands at Arsenal on Tuesday night.

Fresh from another world class performance against Tottenham Hotspur, in which he laid on an assist for the equaliser, Bruno now heads to the sin bin. It means Eddie Howe has a massive call to make in midfield on Tuesday night.

The Brazil star has gone over the bookings limit in the Carabao Cup and will serve a one-match suspension at the Emirates Stadium. It means Bruno will get an enforced rest in North London with Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock and Lewis Miley in contention for a start.

Howe stated he was looking for "energetic" players going into the encounter against Mikel Arteta's side. Bruno said after the game: "I am little bit sad that I will not be able to make the game but I will support the team as a Geordie now and hopefully we can get a good score because the first leg is very important for the second one.

"The confidence is higher, we are in a good moment so I am hopeful we can go there and get a win."

The move means that Bruno's excellent run in midfield with Sandro Tonali now comes to an end after the South American's role as a number 8 as paid major dividends while the Italian is loving life at number 6.

The midfielder said: "Now playing more as an eight, I have more freedom to help the team a little bit more forward but I also have the freedom to play as a double with Sandro or sometimes as a No.6 so we have a good rotation.

"Everyone is performing very well. You change two or three players but everyone who comes in is going to play well so this is a big headache for the gaffer!"
