Newcastle United official announcement – 7 November 2022:

‘With the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar fast approaching, international managers are finalising their squad lists for the tournament this month – with a number of Newcastle United players in contention.

Here’s our guide to when and where the Magpies’ internationals will be playing during the break from domestic action:

Bruno Guimarães

The United midfiedler, who has been in outstanding form for Eddie Howe’s side this term, has been named in Brazil’s squad for the World Cup finals – but there is no room for fellow Newcastle man Joelinton.

Brazil boss Tite watched the Magpies’ 4-0 win over Aston Villa at St. James’ Park last month and has opted to include Guimarães, who currently has eight international caps and one goal to his name as well as some prior tournament success – he was part of his country’s Olympic squad that won gold in 2021.

But the uncapped Joelinton, who has also starred for Howe’s third-placed team this term, misses out on a Seleção squad place.

Tite’s charges face Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon in Group G.
