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.

Out against West Ham United

Joelinton (thigh) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against West Ham United.

Analysis: Joelinton has been unable to get the green light following the club's assessment over the coming sessions, confirming the doubt that coach Eddie Howe had flagged over the slight thigh problem ahead of one of the two final fixtures of the season. His absence is a real blow for Newcastle, with the Brazilian having been one of their most important and energetic contributors throughout the campaign. His situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as the club hopes the issue proves minor enough to have him available for the final fixture of the season.
