"The only reason I'm not at the stadium in Newcastle is that after our flight back from Barcelona, I noticed my face was swollen and thought I was having an allergic reaction. But the next day when I woke up, I realized it was much more than that."
"I sent a photo to the doctor and he came to examine me. It was confirmed that I have mumps, and I need to remain in isolation for five days and stay away from physical activities for a bit longer."
"My focus now is to recover and be 100% as soon as possible."
Bruno Guimaraes, Newcastle's captain, has been diagnosed with mumps and is in medically-advised self-isolation. He had previously been sidelined with a hamstring injury. After returning from a Champions League match in Barcelona, he felt unwell and sought medical advice. His absence was noted during Newcastle's recent defeat to Sunderland. Guimaraes clarified on social media that he initially thought he was having an allergic reaction but later confirmed the mumps diagnosis. He aims to recover fully and return to physical activities soon.
