Joelinton - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Included in traveling squad Joelinton (thigh) is part of Newcastle's squad set to travel to La Manga, according to Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live.

Impact Joelinton had been steadily building fitness following the thigh injury that ended his previous season, with former coach Eddie Howe recently saying he was running well as the club gradually rebuilds his robustness. He finished last season with two goals and one assist across 27 Premier League appearances (23 starts), and his inclusion in the traveling squad marks another positive step as Newcastle works toward having him ready for the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign as he is set to be the main leader in the Magpies' midfield following Sandro Tonali's departure this summer and the ongoing transfer rumors for Bruno Guimaraes.

Working in gym Joelinton (thigh) is back working in the gym ahead of the 2026/27 season after ending the last season injured, according to his club.

Impact Joelinton is working on a return to play ahead of the new season, as the midfielder was back in the gym. This is positive news as offseason training starts to ramp up ahead of the preseason, as the Brazilian does appear to be on the right path. He then should continue to trend towards a return for the start of the season, where he will be likely to be a starter, notching two goals and one assist in 27 appearances (23 starts) during the 202/26 campaign.

The Brazilian midfielder will now focus on a full recovery ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, with the club hoping the minor nature of the thigh issue allows for a straightforward rehabilitation over the summer.

Out against West Ham United Joelinton (thigh) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against West Ham United.

Impact Joelinton has been unable to get the green light following the club's assessment over the coming sessions, confirming the doubt that coach Eddie Howe had flagged over the slight thigh problem ahead of one of the two final fixtures of the season. His absence is a real blow for Newcastle, with the Brazilian having been one of their most important and energetic contributors throughout the campaign. His situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as the club hopes the issue proves minor enough to have him available for the final fixture of the season.

Impact Joelinton's potential absence would be a real blow for Newcastle heading into one of the two final fixtures of the season, with the Brazilian midfielder having been one of their most important and energetic contributors throughout the campaign. The club will assess his condition over the coming sessions before making a final call on his involvement Sunday, with Jacob Ramsey expected to start on the left wing in his place if Joelinton cannot be cleared in time for the West Ham clash.

Three shots Sunday Joelinton had three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Joelinton recorded his most shots in a match since January on Saturday, as the midfielder attempted three shots, although only one was on target. That said, he has not recorded a goal contribution since Feb. 28, remaining at two goals and one assist this season.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension over Joelinton is now cleared play after serving a two-game ban in league play.

Impact Joelinton should be a solid midfield option now that he's available, having logged 221 accurate passes, 13 tackles and 11 interceptions across his previous nine matches played. While he's likely to hold limited offensive potential, he'll push for significant playing time in upcoming fixtures, challenging Joe Willock in a central spot.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Set for suspension Joelinton has picked up a 10th yellow card this season and will miss the next two games.

Impact Joelinton has now recorded a yellow card in two straight appearances and is heading for the sidelines, set to serve a two-match suspension. He will then miss out against Bournemouth on April 18 and against Arsenal on April 25, returning to face Brighton in May. This will force some changes, although the club will hope Bruno Guimaraes recovers from injury this week and can pick up the work Joelinton is leaving behind.

Assists 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.

Impact 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.

Selected for bench Joelinton (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Qarabag.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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."

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
