Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes avoids injury scare in Brazil World Cup boost
Bruno Guimaraes was involved in Brazil's final training session before heading to Qatar. Tite's squad were putting the final touches on their preparations for the World Cup at Juventus' training ground after a five day camp in Italy.
The Newcastle midfielder was involved in a coming together with Real Madrid's Rodrygo earlier this week in an early World Cup scare. The Madrid forward caught Guimaraes late on his right-foot, which saw the Magpies midfielder removed from the session for some treatment.
Brazil's technical staff said they would monitor the fitness levels of their squad ahead of flying to Qatar this weekend. Alex Telles was also involved in a tough tackle from Neymar, but he was able to return to action unscathed.
'Changed my life' - Newcastle are looking where Kevin Keegan found 'frighteningly good' star
Eddie Howe will be keeping a close eye on events at the World Cup. The Newcastle United head coach has even confirmed the club will use the tournament in Qatar as a 'recruitment tool'. This is the stage where players really do come alive, after all. Just ask Philippe Albert.
The Belgian scored superb goals against both the Netherlands and Germany at the 1994 World Cup in front of the watching Kevin Keegan, who was working as a pundit for ITV that summer, and the Magpies boss soon came calling.
"Without the World Cup, I would never have gone to Newcastle," Albert told ChronicleLive. "I would have played somewhere else, but it wouldn't have been the same."
Elliot Anderson wants more Newcastle game time as he wins award previously held by Sean Longstaff
Elliot Anderson wants more game time at Newcastle United after enjoying a breakthrough 2022. The attacking midfielder flourished on loan at Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers last term as he helped the club to promotion on the final day of the campaign.
A plethora of Championship, League One and Scottish sides tried to take Anderson on loan over the summer before Eddie Howe decided to give the 20-year-old a run in the first-team.
Anderson became the latest recipient of the 'Wor Jackie' award, given to the best young player of the year, at the Sport Newcastle awards on Thursday, following in the footsteps of previous winner Sean Longstaff. Speaking to the club's official website, the youngster admitted he was itching for more minutes in the senior side as he continues to impress from the sidelines.
Sven Botman's impressive Newcastle start earns him comparison with Manchester United legend
Lifelong Newcastle United supporter Steve Harmison has compared Dutch defender Sven Botman to Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic.
Botman has proven a major coup for Newcastle since his summer arrival from Lille. He has formed a formidable defensive partnership with Fabian Schar, and further endeared himself to his new fanbase by rejecting a call-up by Netherlands U21s to focus on his club football in September.
The Dutch defender, who has been left out of the Netherlands' World Cup squad, has started 12 of Newcastle's 15 Premier League games, and is yet to lose a competitive game for the Magpies. No Premier League club has conceded fewer goals than Newcastle's record of 11 goals, and Harmison, who now works as talkSPORT's Newcastle correspondent, has tipped Botman to become a 'superstar'.
Newcastle have already found exciting 16-year-old wonderkid who has trained with the first team
Newcastle United youngster Lewis Miley has followed in the footsteps of Sean Longstaff after being presented with the Jack Hixon award at Sport Newcastle's annual dinner.
On a night where Elliot Anderson won the Wor Jackie trophy, Miley was named Tyneside's most promising youngster after taking home the Jack Hixon award. Miley, in the process, joined Longstaff, Freddie Woodman and Adam Armstrong as winners of the gong, which is named after the legendary scout who discovered Alan Shearer.
It is the latest milestone for the teenager, who signed a full-time scholarship last July. Miley has already trained with Newcastle's first team and the highly-rated 16-year-old was named among the substitutes for the Magpies' pre-season friendlies against Atalanta and Athletic Bilbao last summer.
