Eddie Howe and Newcastle United were able to welcome back Brazil star Bruno Guimaraes back to training today. The 25-year-old returned to Tyneside following Quarter-Final heartbreak at the World Cup where the Selecao were beaten on penalties by Croatia.
Guimaraes played a bit-part role for his national side at the tournament, making just two appearances in Qatar, clocking up 66 minutes on the field. Head coach Tite opted for an attacking line-up in the majority of Brazil's games, leaving Bruno on the bench much to the dismay of Newcastle United supporters.
Nonetheless, the Toon Army will be buoyed by his return to Tyneside unscathed after an injury scare in the build-up to the tournament. The Magpies star was on the receiving end of a robust challenge in one of Brazil's final training sessions leading up to the tournament.
