Patrice Evra believes Bruno Guimaraes will be content with sitting on the bench at the World Cup. So far, the Newcastle United midfielder has not featured in Tite’s starting line-up in Qatar.
Toon supporters have watched their talisman with interest but have been surprised at his lack of game time. But those who have followed Brazil closely in recent years will understand that this is the norm.
Of Guimaraes’ 10 international caps, just two were earned as a starter, with Manchester United duo Fred and Casemiro Tite’s preferred midfield pair. Liverpool enforcer Fabinho is also ahead of the Magpies’ favourite in the pecking order.
