Fresh from Bruno Guimaraes’ wedding party an best man duties, Joelinton has been filmed and photographed arriving with the Brazil squad for the very first time.
After checking in alongside the likes of Casemiro and Vinicius Junior, the Newcastle United star has been pictured in his Brazil gear for the very first time by Toon teammate Bruno.
Brazil are due to play Guinea on Saturday 17th June (8.30pm kick off) and then Senegal on Tuesday 20th June (8pm kick off).
See the brilliant picture from Bruno’s Instagram story, followed by a photo of him in training and footage of the big man arriving alongside a host of South American stars:
The call-up caps a truly incredible turnaround for the 26-year-old. His Newcastle career looked finished under Steve Bruce, where he was visibly broken and void of all confidence. Just over 18 months later, he’s in the Brazil squad, has reinvented himself as a player and played a key role in sending Eddie Howe’s Newcastle into the Champions League.
What a story and what a brilliant photo. We’re so happy for you, big Joe!
