Bruno shows Sven Botman what he has to do as powerful message sent to Newcastle dressing room

They may play in different positions, of course, but it was fitting that Sven Botman replaced Bruno Guimaraes when the new signing made his Newcastle United debut as a late substitute on Saturday.

Like Bruno, who also arrived from France, Botman is going to play a huge part in Newcastle's bright future but the 22-year-old is going to have to earn his place in this side first - just as his team-mate did many months previously.

Bruno's game time was slowly built up in his first few weeks at the club - the Brazil international made five second-half substitute appearances before his first start - and you suspect Botman will also have to bide his time. Although there is a strong possibility Botman could make his full debut in the Carabao Cup later this month, it may be another little while yet before the defender makes his first Premier League start.
