Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has admitted Joelinton is unlikely to return before the end of the season.
The Brazilian underwent tests on a knee injury at the weekend after suffering a knee injury in training on Friday and the สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น reports the injury is enough to rule Joelinton out of the final four games of the season. Asked about the possibility, Howe said:
“It’s a difficult possibility but with Joe you can’t rule him out. He’s motivated to try and come back. ” His knee wasn’t good last week, before the game, so he went to a specialist for advice. ” The advice was nothing serious but he needs a rest.
“Nothing serious but he needed a period of rest. He’s now in Brazil. We’ll see if we can get him back by the end of the season, but probably not. I wouldn’t say it’s a new injury, but it’s a related injury and it just need a bit of rest.”
Sven Botman, however, came through his return from his own injury last weekend unscathed and is set to feature during the run as third-placed Newcastle look to secure Champions League qualification.
” He’s in Brazil now. We’ll see if he can be back before the end of the season, but it’s not a possibility. ” It’s not a new injury, it’s related to the knee injury he’s had recently. It’s not 100 per cent yet.
