Bruno Guimaraes insists he is ready to make his first start at St James' Park and hopes to have a 'big game' when Newcastle United host Wolves. The January signing has so far been made to wait by Eddie Howe for opportunities to impress.
Guimaraes has only made three brief cameos on home turf to date, but scored a memorable winner on his full debut at Southampton last March. The Brazil international went on to make a further two starts, but dropped back to the bench for last weekend's defeat at Tottenham following international duty.
Howe has confirmed he will have to make a late call on Joe Willock due to a minor knee injury, potentially opening the door for Guimaraes to make his full home debut. The 24-year-old has revealed his excitement at the prospect, and hopes to mark the occasion with a victory.
