Newcastle United’s £40 million star is at risk of receiving a Premier League suspension prior to the games against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Joelinton, Newcastle United’s midfielder, remains susceptible to suspension as Premier League football soon returns. The Brazilian is currently one booking away from a one-game suspension in the Premier League, having been issued four yellow cards in Newcastle’s first seven league games. In order to prevent suspension, Joelinton must manage to avoid another booking until matchday 20.According to Premier League regulations, players who accumulate five cautions during the initial 19 league matches are subject to a one-match suspension. Joelinton is on the brink of a ban unless he can avoid receiving another yellow card in the league until the end of the year, despite the fact that he avoided a caution during his most recent match

against Everton. It is exceedingly unlikely that he will avoid a ban, given his frequency of receiving yellow cards. However, he could draw inspiration from his Newcastle teammate and fellow Brazilian, Bruno Guimaraes, who was able to avoid a two-match suspension and go 11 matches without a booking last season. Joelinton would be required to surpass his previous record of 12 games without a sanction prior to Newcastle’s 20th game of the Premier League season, which is scheduled to take place at Tottenham Hotspur on January 4, 2025. Newcastle and Joelinton will resume play against Brighton & Hove Albion at St James’ Park on Saturday at 3 p.m. He will be unable to attend the forthcoming trip to Chelsea if he is scheduled for that match. Newcastle will then host Arsenal at St James’ Park.

When asked about Joelinton’s yellow card situation, Howe stated, “I have had numerous conversations with Joe, on a variety of topics; however, that was only one aspect of it.” “We do not wish to be without him; it is always challenging to lose a player, particularly at this early stage of the season. It seems premature to be without a player due to suspension.” “It is a matter that he must manage, but occasionally there may be a tackle in which you are a second late and receive a booking that you sort of settle for.” It is possible that the other individuals are the ones that require elimination from our contest. “It is impossible to have a destructor, ball-winner, brilliant at second balls, duels, and tackler – that force that is in the middle of the pitch – and not acknowledge that he will occasionally miss timed tackles and receive yellow cards. You cannot have it both ways.” Naturally, we are apprehensive about his suspension. We will endeavor to provide him with assistance; however, as I have previously stated, it is impossible to achieve both objectives simultaneously.
