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.
Remains out for several weeks

January 30, 2026
Joelinton (groin) traveled to Barcelona to receive an injection in his groin and is set to miss several weeks, not months, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He flew on to Barcelona after the game to get an injection in his groin. It was good news. The specialist feels he only needs one injection and that means his return could be quite quick and we're looking at weeks, not months. Unsure of the exact date yet, but it's positive news."
ANALYSIS
Joelinton suffered a setback from his recurrent groin issues in Sunday's clash against Aston Villa and traveled to Barcelona to receive an injection. The Brazilian is set to miss several weeks, not months to recover from this new setback before resuming team training with the Magpies. His absence will force a change in the starting XI since he is a regular starter for Newcastle, with Lewis Miley getting a larger role in the middle of the pitch while Jacob Ramsey should see increased playing time.
