OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 6/1/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Joelinton had a few fights with injury in the 2024/25 campaign, but he started 29 matches, 14 more than the prior campaign. His physical play leads to a lot of bumps and bruises, which often leads to an absence or two throughout the season. He's never had crazy attacking numbers despite coming to Newcastle as more of a forward, but as seen in his four goals and three assists last season, he's always around to find production from the left side. It seems doubtful he'll keep his fitness for an entire campaign with Champions League to worry about, but his versatility means he's a lock to start in most games when healthy, keeping his floor fairly solid.
Season over
Joelinton (thigh) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after picking up a minor issue in training during the week, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Joelinton picked up a minor feeling in training during the week right to the end, and we were aware he was not going to make this game or the next game, so that will be a season over."
ANALYSIS
Joelinton ends the campaign with four goals, two assists, 22 chances created, 56 tackles and 42 shots across 39 appearances (31 starts) in all competitions, having been one of Newcastle's most important and energetic contributors throughout the season. The Brazilian midfielder will now focus on a full recovery ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, with the club hoping the minor nature of the thigh issue allows for a straightforward rehabilitation over the summer.
