After revealing that Joelinton looks set to sign a new deal at Newcastle United, The Telegraph have issued an update on the Brazilian’s comeback from injury.
Luke Edwards reports that the 27-year-old is making ‘good progress’ following surgery and ‘should be back playing at the start of May.’
Some reported that his season was over when he went under the knife in January, but the midfielder could feature in our final three games of the 2024/25 season based on this scheduled return date.
After our home clash with Sheffield United on Saturday 27th April, our final three games of the season based on our current schedule are away to Burnley (4th May), followed by a home clash with Brighton (11th May) and trip to Brentford on the final day of the season, where all 20 clubs play on Sunday 19th May.
We are also awaiting a date for our rearranged trip to Man Utd. This was initially set to be played next weekend (20th-21st April), but has been postponed now Ten Hag’s side are playing in the FA Cup semi-finals that weekend. As things stand, it’s likely to be a midweek game on Tuesday 14th or Wednesday 15th May.
With Sandro Tonali missing, Willock struggling with an Achilles issue, Sean Longstaff playing with injections and Lewis Miley managing a back problem, it would be great to have big Joe back for the final few games in our late push for Europe.
Joelinton’s partner posted this photo of the midfielder’s boots on Instagram this week. Covered in mud and clearly worn, it makes you wonder if he’s back on the grass and stepping up his comeback with next month’s return in mind…
