Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães has spoken out in support of teammate Alexander Isak, emphasizing that the players have no influence over the situation surrounding the talented striker. During the club’s pre-season tour in Singapore, Guimarães shared his thoughts, stating, “I’m really close to him. He’s a great guy who’s currently facing some challenges.”
Guimarães continued, “My main focus is on the team. Alexander’s situation is beyond my control, but I genuinely hope he’ll be fit and ready as we gear up for the new season. We were informed that he is in Newcastle due to his injury, and he is a key player for us. His absence is definitely felt on this trip, and we’re all looking forward to having him back on the pitch as soon as possible.”
This heartfelt defense from the Newcastle skipper highlights the camaraderie within the squad and the importance of having players like Isak fit and ready to contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming season.
