“Home” – Newcastle United’s star player returns to his former club for rehabilitation following a two-month injury setback.
A knee injury that had previously incapacitated him for a month between February and March resulted in the 28-year-old midfielder’s 2024/25 season being cut short. Joelinton was able to regain his fitness and deliver several critical performances, which aided
Newcastle in their victory in the Carabao Cup and their ongoing pursuit of Champions League qualification. However, the Brazilian was ultimately unable to participate in any of Newcastle’s final five matches of the season due to a flare-up of the knee injury. Joelinton has not appeared for Newcastle since April, despite the fact that the injury was not considered to be severe.
Joelinton will be returning to his former club for off-season training in preparation for his return to NUFC. Joelinton visited his former club Sport Recife during his off-season journey to Brazil in order to enhance his fitness. A video of Joelinton training was posted on the official Instagram page of the Brazilian Serie A club, with the caption: “It’s always a pleasure to see you here, Big Joe!”
The Newcastle midfielder was observed in full Recife training gear as he conducted a variety of training exercises and medical tests, in addition to interacting with some of the club’s current players. Joelinton initiated his professional career at Recife, where he scored seven goals in 39 appearances. Subsequently, he relocated to Europe as an adolescent to join Hoffenheim in 2015.
The following comment was made by Joelinton in response to Recife’s post: “My home.” I am grateful for all that you have done, and I extend my gratitude to all the individuals who are a part of the largest organisation in the northeast. ❤️ 🖤 Recife is recognised as the largest club in the Northeast region of Brazil, as the majority of Brazilian clubs are situated in the southern regions of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Santos, and Porto Alegre.
Now, he is preparing to return to the most prominent club in the North East of England. Joelinton’s return to the field without knee strapping is a much-needed injury benefit for Newcastle, as he is expected to be ready to play in the pre-season opener against Celtic next month. Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s head coach, stated last month that
“He is diligently working behind the scenes.” Joe is a typical individual who is making a concerted effort to improve his physical fitness in order to participate. “The most likely scenario is that we will not encounter him again this season and that we will prepare him for the following year.” Joelinton is anticipated to participate in Newcastle’s preseason schedule to the
fullest, as he endeavours to regain his full fitness in anticipation of the upcoming Premier League season, despite the fact that Howe’s assertions have been confirmed. Joelinton’s most recent competitive appearance in the Premier League was in April at Aston Villa. It is anticipated that he will make his return to the league on the opening day of the season, August 16 (12:30 p.m. kickstart).
