The 25-year-old midfielder didn’t start a match for Brazil as they were knocked out by Croatia on penalties in the quarter-final but did come off the bench in the group stage matches against Cameroon and Switzerland.

Guimaraes posted a photo of his Newcastle training kit on Instagram along with the caption: “Back to my team.”

The midfielder’s prompt return to training after the World Cup is a welcome one with Newcastle back in competitive action against AFC Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday (7:45pm kick-off).
