Newcastle United's manager Eddie Howe confirmed that midfielder Joelinton is unlikely to return this season due to a knee injury, which adds pressure on the team as they compete for a Champions League spot. Currently, Newcastle sits third in the Premier League but only two points above sixth-place Nottingham Forest with just four matches remaining. Joelinton missed their recent victory over Ipswich and is currently recuperating in Brazil. While Howe acknowledges the playerâs determination to recover, he conveyed that expert advice calls for rest, making Joelinton's return doubtful as they head to face Brighton.
Howe stated that Joelinton has a knee injury that is likely to prevent him from playing again this season, impacting Newcastle's Champions League aspirations.
Despite his positive motivation and recovery efforts, the specialist's recommendation for Joelinton includes a necessary period of rest, making his return to play improbable.
