Newcastle United fans are yet to see any real action from their new marquee signing from January, with Bruno Guimaraes yet to make a start for the Magpies.
He joined from Lyon and has been restricted to the bench so far. He has been active on social media though, posting before today’s game against Brentford.
Do you think Bruno Guimaraes will start on Saturday?Yes
No

He shared a matchday graphic on his story, we’ve seen trends with players in the past that will do this if they are involved in the squad, so could this be a hint to him making his first start this afternoon?
He has only played a total of two minutes in his three sub appearances so far so is yet to have any impact at St James’ Park.

Newcastle are on a real upturn in form, winning three and drawing two from their last five, a streak that has seen them go two points clear of the drop.
Being on such good form can make it hard for a manager to change a winning side, so even if Guimaraes wasn’t teasing his first start, he’ll have to be patient. He didn’t come cheap so Eddie Howe clearly sees him as a main man for the club.
