Midfielder Joelinton Unlikely To Feature In Rest Of The Season, Says Newcastle Manager Howe
Howe, who received a nomination for the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month award for April, revealed Joelinton could be sidelined for the remaining four fixtures of the season but will be hopeful the likes of Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes can continue their impressive form of late in their bid for Champions League qualification for a second time in their last three seasons.
"The likelihood is that it will be difficult (if he will play again this season). But with Joe you never rule him out. He's so motivated to try and come back. He had a bit of discomfort in his knee last week before the game, so we sought specialist opinion and the opinion was that it was nothing serious, but he needed a period of rest, so he's now in Brazil. We'll wait and see if we can get him back before the end of the season but the likelihood is probably not," Howe said in a pre-match press conference.
