NewcastleAssists against Everton
Joelinton assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Everton.
Analysis: Joelinton delivered a well placed pass to the edge of the box for Jacob Murphy to score. After starting the previous Premier League match on the bench, he showed the attacking presence he can still bring to the side. The midfielder has taken 26 shots this season, a high total among Premier League midfielders, though he has created just 15 chances. He played at left wing in this match, which helped increase his attacking involvement, but his role going forward remains uncertain. Joelinton and Newcastle United will next face Manchester United, who sit third in the table, making it a difficult matchup.
Scores once in win
Joelinton scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Qarabag.
Analysis: Joelinton continued his return from a groin injury with a starting nod after two substitute outings and delivered by scoring from his only attempt. He also won two tackles before being taken off early to carefully manage his minutes as he pushes toward reclaiming a regular place in midfield.
Selected for bench
Joelinton (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Qarabag.
Analysis: Joelinton has made the team sheet Wednesday after his slated return, with the attacker an option from the bench. That said, it appears he still needs some time to focus on the injury, not risking him inthe starting XI yet. However, with numerous injuries throughout the team, he should return to his starting role in the coming games.
Option for Wednesday
Joelinton (groin) is an option for Wednesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Joelinton's back in the squad so that's a great boost for us. He's such an important player, such a big presence within our squad, such a real leader. He trained yesterday and trained well, and felt really good."
Analysis: Joelinton is going to return to the team sheet for UCL action after nursing a groin injury, a massive return to an injured midfield unit. The Brazilian will likely be slated to start immediately, as he is a regular starter normally, already without Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring). With two goal contributions in UCL play this season, he will look to take advantage of his return, hoping to prosper in the first leg against a oppenet they should beat on paper.
Nearing return
Joelinton (groin) is nearing a return to action, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Joelinton's doing really well. I don't think he'll make this game, but he's not going to be too far away beyond this game. He's desperate to be back involved, as he normally is, but that's a great sign for us - that means he's feeling good about his body, and he's very positive."
Analysis: Joelinton is not yet an option to play for the club's FA Cup match on Saturday, but looks to be eying a potential return when returning to UCL play on Wednesday. That said, this will be a huge addition as they head back into European competition, starting in five of his six UCL games. The bigger question is if he will be in a position to start, one of the club's more crucial players, when fit.
Remains out
Joelinton (groin) remains out for Tuesday's clash against Tottenham, coach Eddie How said in the press conference. "He won't make this game."
Analysis: Joelinton remains unavailable for Tuesday's clash against the Spurs as he continues to battle a lingering groin issue that has bothered the Brazilian for some time. He is expected to be re-evaluated later in the week to determine whether he can make a return to the squad for Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa. In the meantime, Joe Willock has stepped into a larger role and is seeing extended minutes in the middle of the park while Joelinton works his way back to full fitness.
Remains out for several weeks
Joelinton (groin) traveled to Barcelona to receive an injection in his groin and is set to miss several weeks, not months, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He flew on to Barcelona after the game to get an injection in his groin. It was good news. The specialist feels he only needs one injection and that means his return could be quite quick and we're looking at weeks, not months. Unsure of the exact date yet, but it's positive news."
Analysis: Joelinton suffered a setback from his recurrent groin issues in Sunday's clash against Aston Villa and traveled to Barcelona to receive an injection. The Brazilian is set to miss several weeks, not months to recover from this new setback before resuming team training with the Magpies. His absence will force a change in the starting XI since he is a regular starter for Newcastle, with Lewis Miley getting a larger role in the middle of the pitch while Jacob Ramsey should see increased playing time.
Likely out a few weeks
Joelinton (groin) is set to miss a few weeks with his injury, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Joe won't make the game. He has had a scan, we don't think it is a bad injury, but we think he will be out for a few weeks. He will miss a few games."
Analysis: Joelinton will not be with the club for UCL action this week and is likely to miss out on a few more games due to his new groin injury. Unfortunately, the club is going to have to do without a regular starter, leaving Lewis Miley and Jacob Ramsey as potential replacements, with Bruno Guimaraes (ankle) still questionable. Joelinton will still head in for further testing as he goes, hoping to be an option a week or two into February.
Exits after halftime
Joelinton was forced off in the 48th minute of Sunday's match against Aston Villa due to an apparent groin injury, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Craig Hope of The Daily Mail. "It looks like a groin problem for Joe."
Analysis: Joelinton would make it just three minutes after halftime before he needed to come off, suffering what appears to be another groin injury. Unfortunately for the club, the Brazilian is a regular starter, something to watch as they are already without Bruno Guimaraes. That said, he was replaced by Jacob Ramsey, a likely replacement if Joelinton were to miss further time, alongside Bruno Guimaraes (ankle), if he returns.
Key assist in win
Joelinton assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against PSV Eindhoven.
Analysis: Joelinton slid the ball across the box to setup the opening goal for Newcastle in their resounding 3-0 home victory over PSV Eindhoven. Across his 72-minute shift, the dynamic midfielder created two chances, made one clearance and one block. Joelinton has played past the 72-minute mark just once in his six Champions League appearances (five starts).
Three shots in 0-0 draw
Joelinton registered three shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Joelinton took three shots but was unable to find the back of the net as Newcastle drew 0-0 with Wolves. This is the second Premier League game in a row that he has attempted three shots, and this is the fourth Premier League game out of the last five that he has had a shot on target.
Scores again
Joelinton scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 4-3 win versus Leeds United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 51st minute.
Analysis: Joelinton scored for the second time in three outings, as he knocked in a header, assisted by Bruno Guimaraes in the 54th minute. This also marked the second time in four outings that Joelinton racked up at least three shots, while he is up to five shots on target over that span. Additionally, this marked the third time in the last four outings that he recorded multiple tackles, moving to a total of 13 tackles won on the season.
Clinical finish in win
Joelinton scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and four chances created in Tuesday's 3-1 win against Burnley. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 28th minute.
Analysis: Joelinton flicked the ball into the far corner of the net Tuesday to secure Newcastle's second goal in their 3-1 victory over Burnley. In additon to scoring his first league goal of the campaign, the midfielder led the team with four chances created across his 89 minutes of play and tracked back to make two tackles (one won), two interceptions and three clearances. Joelinton's yellow card was his fourth in Premier League play this season.
Energetic substitute appearance
Joelinton had three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 1-0 loss versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Joelinton entered Newcastle's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on Friday with just 22 minutes remianing. Despite his abbreviated shift, the veteran midifelder led the Newcastle United attacking effort with two shots on goal. Joelinton's appearance marks his return to fitness after missing Newcastle's previous two league fixtures with a groin injury.
Hoping to get minutes over holidays
Joelinton is getting closer to fitness ahead of Friday's trip to Manchester, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Joelinton is getting closer now to be able to participate. We'll see how he trains today [Tuesday] and how he looks."
Analysis: Joelinton remains in the squad, but he hasn't played in the last two contests with his last appearance being 60 minutes Dec. 10 against Leverkusen. Given the bodies available, there's no reason to push him with a groin problem and it's likely his next appearance will be from the bench with Jacob Ramsey doing well in the match against Chelsea.
Nursing groin problem
Joelinton is nursing a groin problem he suffered against Leverkusen one week ago and will be fit only in an emergency situation, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to Keith Downie from Sky Sports. "Joelinton is nursing a groin problem. He's fit to a point, but it would only be in an emergency situation (we would use him). Defending a corner in the last few moments for example. He's training but he's maybe not executing everything normally."
Analysis: Joelinton won't be risked in the coming weeks, as he is currently nursing a groin problem suffered against Leverkusen in the Champions League one week ago and will only feature in an emergency situation. Joelinton has been training but can't complete all sessions normally due to the issue. Lewis Miley is expected to see a larger role in the midfield until Joelinton resolves his groin problem.
Fit once again
Joelinton (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Sunderland.
Analysis: Joelinton was deemed to have a groin issue, but after some testing ahead of Sunday's match, he has been deemed fit and is on the team sheet. The Brazilian is only an option from the bench, but should see time to test his legs before an eventual return to the starting XI in the coming games.
Groin issue confirmed
Joelinton was forced off around the hour-mark in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Leverkusen due to a groin issue, coach Eddie Howe confirmed in a press conference, according to the Sunderland Echo. "It looks like a groin issue. I don't know how serious it is at this moment in time."
Analysis: Joelinton will have to be assessed in the coming hours after suffering a groin issue and being forced off in the 60th minute of Wednesday's draw against the Werkself in the Champions League. The Brazilian is already a doubt for Sunday's clash against Sunderland and will have to be replaced in the starting midfield if he had to miss the game. Lewis Miley will likely start against the Black Cats if the issue to Joelinton proves to be serious.
Off with groin issue
Joelinton was forced off with an apparent groin injury during Wednesday's clash with Leverkusen.
Analysis: Joelinton was brought off injured during the second half of Wednesday's clash. The midfielder was replaced by Lewis Miley, who figures to take on a larger role with Joelinton injured. The severity of the issue is unclear, but Joelinton was able to walk off, his status ahead of a Sunday trip to Sunderland is up in the air.
Just a cut
Joelinton (leg) suffered only a cut and isn't expected to be a doubt for a Nov. 22 clash with Manchester City, per Lee Ryder of The Chronicle.
Analysis: Joelinton came off after a heavy challenge during a 3-1 loss to Brentford. He only suffered a cut and no serious injury, so there's no concern of a long-term absence. Joelinton should be back in the starting XI for a clash with Manchester City after the international break.
