Guimaraes and his loved ones – including his newborn son – also sat on the sofa as they waited for the Toon star’s name to be read out.
And they jumped to their feet as the midfielder’s selection for the tournament was confirmed.

Antony, Richarlison and Guimaraes are three of 12 Premier League stars who will be on Brazil’s plane to Qatar.
