Joelinton may still be prohibited from playing for Newcastle United under Premier League regulations if this occurs against Aston Villa.
successfully evaded a Premier League suspension for Newcastle United in advance of the critical match at Aston Villa on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Joelinton would have been suspended for Newcastle’s subsequent two Premier League matches against Villa and Ipswich Town if he had received a booking against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.
Instead, Joelinton dodged a booking and maintained a total of nine league bookings for the season. According to Premier League regulations, any player who accumulates 10 bookings during the initial 32 league matches of a club will be prohibited from participating in the following two games.
Joelinton’s ninth caution occurred in a 2-1 loss to Fulham in early February, and a suspension appeared imminent at one point. This required the Brazilian to avoid receiving any additional yellow cards during Newcastle’s subsequent eight league games. In order to prevent a ban, he effectively avoided a booking for five consecutive league games after an injury kept him out for three games.
After evading a Premier League exile, Joelinton is now “free.” Joelinton was withdrawn early from Newcastle’s second consecutive match against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night by manager Jason Tindall in order to prevent him from receiving any potential cautions. Newcastle was leading 5-0 at the time.Tindall, when asked about Joelinton’s ability to avoid a ban, stated,
“It just goes to show he can do it.” “Obviously, that [suspension] was always on our minds, and as a result, we have removed him from the field in the last two games, likely earlier than he would typically be removed.” “However, it is a testament to Joe’s abilities, as it is exceedingly challenging for a physical player like him to remain unbooked for an extended period of time.
He deserves recognition for his perseverance.” Joe is now free to be Joelinton, and we have successfully avoided that deadline. Thank goodness. Newcastle United may continue to impose a suspension on Joelinton. Although Joelinton has evaded a two-match suspension this season,
there is a slight possibility that he may be issued a three-match suspension at the commencement of the upcoming season. This could only occur if he were to accumulate a yellow card in each of Newcastle’s remaining six Premier League matches.This would result in a three-match suspension that would extend into the 2025-26 season,
as he would have received 15 yellow cards for the season. However, this would necessitate the Newcastle midfielder to establish a new Premier League record for bookings in a season, which is presently at 14. Therefore, the sole requirement for him to safeguard himself from such a penalty is to refrain from receiving a booking against Aston Villa.
Newcastle will be pleased to have Joelinton available for Saturday’s match at Villa Park, as they endeavour to extend their winning streak to seven in all competitions. Joelinton has been included in the Magpies’ starting lineup for the past six matches, all of which have resulted in victories. The Brazilian, in conjunction with Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali,
has been a critical component of Newcastle’s three-man midfield, which has been referred to as “the best” in the Premier League. Newcastle is in third place in the Premier League table, five points clear of Aston Villa in seventh, as they prepare for Saturday’s match. Villa was defeated by the Magpies 3-0 at St James’ Park in December and 3-1 at Villa Park last season.
