"We couldn't say whether I would be in the crew," he told Newcastle's club media. "Everybody asks this however in Brazil we don't have any idea, we just figure out on the day, staring at the TV like every other person.

"It was hugely close to home. I believe everybody's seen the video. It's conventional in Brazil for every one of the players to watch the crew declaration before the World Cup. I really didn't know in advance."

While there is a lot of Chief Association portrayal in Brazil's crew, there was no space for Guimaraes' Newcastle colleague Joelinton, who is yet to win a senior cap for his country.

Guimaraes was frustrated to see his individual midfielder pass up a great opportunity, adding: "I trusted Joelinton would be in the crew with me. He's an extraordinary player, playing all around well here at Newcastle.

"He's a player who has helped me a ton since I showed up. We have an incredible fellowship. I consider him to be my sibling. I'm miserable for him, yet he's as yet youthful and he'll have different chances to play in other World Cups.

"I don't figure it will influence his vocation - he knows how to deal with it. Obviously I'm miserable for him, however he can contemplate the following World Cup and keep doing what he's been doing as he contributes such a great amount here at Newcastle."
