Bruno Guimaraes has wasted no time throwing himself back into the gym after leaving Brazil's international camp through injury. The Newcastle United star is already back at the club's Benton training base and working hard after being cut from the national side over the weekend.
Swelling in his left thigh caused Guimaraes to miss Friday's 3-0 win over Ghana and has kept him out of Tuesday's clash with Tunisia in Paris, with Brazil boss Tite opting to take him out of his side. Guimaraes enjoyed some down time at DisneyLand Paris on Sunday but is now battling to be fit for the trip to Fulham on Saturday.
Eddie Howe was reluctant to give the midfielder too much game time on his recent return from a hamstring injury but may have little choice this weekend as Newcastle desperately seek a win. Guimaraes was given 72 minutes against Bournemouth before the international break but Howe later admitted he only intended to give the former Lyon man an hour at St James' Park.
