Impact Joelinton had to come off during last Saturday's match against Manchester City with an injury that saw him sit out of training earlier in the week. However, he was able to return and could be a fitness test for Sunday. There is still a chance that the Brazilian does not start the game, and if that's the case then Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes could be the pair to lineup in the midfield against Liverpool on Sunday. Joelinton had started his first two league matches of the season, totaling four tackles (three won) with two interceptions and two chances created thus far.

Scores first national team goal Joelinton (leg) scored in his first Brazil appearance in a recent friendly against Guinea.

Impact Joelinton had a minor issue as the season closed, but he couldn't pass on a chance to play for Brazil. It's a positive sign on his health over the summer, as he should be 100 percent once the pre-season rolls around. He figures to remain a key part for Newcastle after another stout season in which he hit six goals from 32 appearances (30 starts). Of course, due to his versatility, his numbers are reliant on position, as he doesn't get nearly as forward playing in a midfield role.

Out against Chelsea Joelinton (leg) will not feature in Sunday's finale against Chelsea, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Joelinton missed the draw against Leicester City and there's no reason to push for Sunday's finale with Champions League secure. It's been a huge season for Joelinton, as he's played almost wherever Howe has needed him, whether in the front three or in the midfield. It's hard to see him losing a job next season after starting 30 league matches in which he totaled six goals, one assist, 51 shots and 26 chances created. While players will be added this summer, Joelinton seems safe in the squad, for now.
