"Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe was forced to withdraw one of his key players against Brentford, with a modern trend blamed for the setback. The Magpies travelled to the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon looking to make amends for a shock 3-1 defeat to strugglers West Ham United in their previous Premier League outing. Their trip, however, got off to a difficult start when one of their key midfielders was withdrawn after just 24 minutes."
"Joelinton was forced off with less than half an hour on the clock, following Dango Ouattara accidentally catching the midfielder's calf with his studs as he cleared the ball. He continued at first, but was soon replaced by Jacob Ramsey when it became clear the Brazilian couldn't continue. Lo que le ha pasado a Joelinton es el mejor mensaje para todos los jugadores jovenes que deciden llevar la espinillera mas pequena reglamentariamente posible."
Newcastle travelled to the Gtech Community Stadium aiming to recover from a 3-1 defeat to West Ham. Joelinton was forced off after 24 minutes when Dango Ouattara's studs accidentally caught his calf. He initially continued but was substituted by Jacob Ramsey once it became clear the Brazilian could not continue. Sky Sports commentators Bill Leslie and Alan Smith suggested the injury was worsened by Joelinton's very small shin pad, linking the setback to a current fashion trend. Online viewers echoed concerns that minimal protective guards provide inadequate protection and raised player safety questions.
