Football world sends Bruno Guimaraes 'congratulations' messages after birth of first child

Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and his girlfriend Ana Lidia Martins welcomed their first child last night and the football world have sent them their congratulations.

Guimaraes' form has been rewarded with another eight appearances for the Brazil senior team, scoring once, and is undoubtedly going to be one of 26 on the plane to Qatar next month if he manages to stay healthy.
