Newcastle returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Tottenham, but the celebrations were tinged with worry over Bruno Guimaraes.
Eddie Howe confirmed that the midfielder could have picked up a knock in the closing stages, leaving fans nervously awaiting a fitness update.
Goals from Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey ended the Magpies’ four-game winless streak and lifted them above local rivals Sunderland into 10th place in the Premier League.
For Spurs, it was another disappointing result, leaving them just five points above the relegation zone.
Despite the scare, Newcastle showed resilience and determination to claim the crucial three points.
Howe will hope Guimaraes recovers quickly, as the Brazilian is key to their push up the table.
