After a difficult performance against Liverpool was noted by BBC Radio Newcastle's John Anderson, we looked into his stats on this page and noted a drop-off this month for the Brazil midfielder.
"Tiredness is a difficult thing for me to measure," Howe said. "Only Bruno can truly do that, but he's had a very very busy schedule for a long long time now.
"He's always been there for us - that's the standout thing. He's never shied away and he wants to play every minute. He's got a great passion for the game.
"We need to protect our players at all time and he's such a special talent."
