Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton showcased excellent form against Arsenal but will have just one more opportunity to play together before the upcoming international break. This final chance will come in their Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund, as they seek to avenge their 1-0 loss to the Bundesliga side at St James’ Park. Following this match, they will return to Premier League action against Bournemouth, but Eddie Howe will be without Bruno Guimaraes, who is suspended due to receiving his fifth yellow card of the season. Bruno was fortunate not to be sent off for a challenge on Jorginho during the game against Arsenal.
Regrettably, Joelinton won’t have his Brazilian compatriot alongside him in the match against Bournemouth. However, they will reunite during the upcoming international break, as both were named in the Brazil squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and World Cup holders Argentina.
Joelinton expressed his appreciation for being included in the Brazil squad on Instagram, stating, “It will always be an honor.” Bruno responded with a supportive message, saying, “Come on, brother.” This dynamic duo will unite at the international level later this month as they aim to help Brazil improve their qualification campaign following disappointing results against Venezuela and Uruguay. Joelinton will look to add to his four Brazil caps earned this year, highlighting his strong performances for Newcastle United.
