BREAKING: Bruno Guimaraes limps out of Brazil World Cup training

Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes went down with an injury during Brazil's World Cup training session after challenge by teammate.

Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes had to be removed from Brazil training, ahead of the World Cup, after going down from a challenge from Fabinho.

The South Americans are amongst the favourites to win the tournament in Qatar, 20 years after the most recent occasions they were crowned world champions.

Tite has so much attacking talent to pick from that he was even able to leave Roberto Firmino in Liverpool, much to the shock of Jurgen Klopp.

Being called out by the German for not picking his player will be the least of the Brazil boss' worries, especially following the incident in Wednesday's training session.

Fabinho challenged his fellow midfielder, according to ge globo, and moments later the Newcastle United star went over on his boot and had to be helped off the pitch, as you can see in the video below.

He received medical attention from the physios at the side of the pitch, as the mood around training seemed to be a little concerned.

With so little time between Premier League, and other domestic competitions, games stopping last weekend and players flying out to the tournament, there was always chance of injuries happening.

It's yet to be seen if Guimaraes will have to miss any games, with the Selecao not even making their debuts in the competition for over a week.

They face Serbia a week on Thursday, followed by games against Switzerland and Cameroon, and remain favourites to top the group.

Should the injury be bad, and he unfortunately have to miss the tournament, there is time for him to be replaced, and, even if he has to miss one game, Tite still has Casemiro, Fred, Fabinho, Lucas Paqueta and Flamengo's Everton Ribeiro to pick from.

It looked like Senegal would be the team who missed their biggest star at the World Cup, with reports that Sadio Mane would be out of the tournament.

However, the Bayern Munich forward was then named in their squad last week, much to the annoyance of his club, although he is still expected to miss the first games of their campaign.

That means there will be no reunion with former Liverpool teammate Virgil van Dijk on Monday, when the African side take on Netherlands.

South Korea also avoided the scare of losing Son Heung-min for the tournament, when the Tottenham Hotspur forward revealed his availability.

France were the first team to have a player drop out of their squad, having initially been called up to it, when they lost Christopher Nkunku.

Much like Guimaraes, the in form RB Leipzig forward was injured in a challenge with a teammate, with Edouardo Camavinga the unfortunate member of the squad.

The two men went for the ball at the same time but it was Nkunku who, having made eight appearances for Les Blues was set to make a big impact on the World Cup, came out worse.

He was replaced on Wednesday by Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani, though Manchester United fans felt it should have been Anthony Martial.
