Joelinton - knee/thigh

Newcastle’s midfielder Joelinton (28) played the full 90 minutes against Brentford despite struggling with discomfort in his knee and upper thigh, which were heavily strapped. He required second-half treatment but managed to continue. Manager Eddie Howe praised his mentality, acknowledging that Joelinton wasn’t fully fit but pushed through the pain. The club will assess his condition to ensure he is ready for the next match. (Source: Scott Wilson, The Northern Echo)
