Still out with thigh issue
Joelinton (thigh) remains unavailable for Monday's Premier League clash against Leeds as he continues his recovery from a longer-term injury, according to coach Matthias Jaissle, per Jordan Cronin.
Analysis: Joelinton has yet to feature competitively this season after suffering the thigh injury before the start of the campaign, and Monday's clash will come too soon for his return. The midfielder had previously been viewed as a potential option against Leeds United, but manager Matthias Jaissle's latest update confirms he still requires additional recovery time. Newcastle have yet to provide a firm timetable for his comeback, leaving his availability for the final fixtures before the international break uncertain.
Won't return in Carabao Cup
Joelinton (thigh) is working his way back from injury but won't be an option for Tuesday's Carabao Cup match against Millwall, according to manager Matthias Jaissle.
Analysis: The Brazilian midfielder suffered a thigh injury before the start of the 2026/27 season, and he's yet to log competitive minutes for the Magpies in the current campaign. While the game against Millwall comes too soon for him, he might be in line to return to action against Leeds United on Monday, Sept. 14, or against Hull City on Saturday, Sept. 19. Otherwise, he'd have to wait to return until October following the upcoming international break.
