Newcastle United powerhouse Joelinton has earned his first call-up to the Brazilian national side after a stellar campaign on Tyneside. The midfielder will link up with his fellow countrymen for friendlies against Guinea and Senegal next month.
Joelinton has been knocking on the door in recent months after turning around his club career with Newcastle. Former boss Tite looked at the Magpies midfielder before the World Cup but eventually decided against taking him to Qatar.
Bruno Guimaraes has also been selected for the pre-season clashes and reacted on social media moments before Newcastle's clash with Chelsea, tweeting: "Big Joe!" followed by three Brazilian flag emojis.
