Bruno Guimaraes will meet up with his Newcastle United teammates very shortly.
After playing 50 times (48 starts) for Newcastle last season, it has been a busy non-stop summer for the NUFC talisman.
Bruno Guimaraes was part of the NUFC squad that flew off to Australia immediately after last season ended, playing against Tottenham in Mebourne.
Before then another six games for Brazil, including four at the Copa America.
Bruno Guimaraes also fitting in a best man appearance in between, as Joelinton got married.
After Brazil were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Copa America on 7 July by Uruguay, on penalties, Bruno finally allowed the best part of three weeks with his family.
All change now though and back to action, indeed, this past week Bruno Guimaraes posted a video of himself working hard with a personal trainer, Bruno’s dad also lent a helping hand throwing the ball for his son during the workout.
The official club social media has just shown the Newcastle United squad boarding the plane on Sunday lunchtime as they set off for Japan.

However, Bruno Guimaraes is travelling separately and is ahead of them, just about…
Late on Saturday night (UK time), Bruno Guimaraes posted this on his personal Instagram, clearly not looking forward to his marathon journey which will take around twice as long as the rest of the Newcastle United squad.
