Newcastle United fans may be taking an interest in Brazil's next fixture, thanks to the club's pursuit of Brazilian international midfielder Bruno Guimaraes which has gathered pace in recent days.
Whilst Newcastle 's squad are training in Saudi Arabia during a break from Premier League action, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL have World Cup qualifiers to catch up on after cancellations due to the Covid pandemic.
As such, Brazil face Ecuador and Paraguay in the next few days, providing a chance for Magpies fans to watch the man they hope will be playing his football at St James' Park in the second half of the season.
