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.

For Guimaraes, the Newcastle playmaker returned to the training field but looked uneasy and limped his way through Tuesday's session. The 25-year-old took part in Brazil's session on Friday morning alongside the likes of Neymar, Raphinha, Casemiro and Richarlison.

Brazil will kick-off their World Cup campaign against Serbia before taking on Switzerland and Cameroon in their remaining group games.
