Bruno Guimaraes has had an eventful start to his World Cup journey with Brazil this week after celebrating his 25th birthday and suffering a pre-tournament injury scare in the space of a few hours in Italy.
The Newcastle United favourite jetted out to Turin with the rest of his Selecao team-mates on Monday, with the group enjoying a few days of pre-World Cup training before flying out to Qatar this weekend.
Guimaraes was inundated with birthday messages on social media on Wednesday, sharing a significant amount on his personal Instagram. The Brazil players were also on hand to celebrate, performing a guard of honour, chanting and giving him the 'birthday bumps' as the Magpies midfielder left the dressing room to enter the training pitch.
