Newcastle's main midfielder risks missing the rest of the season

One of the key players for Newcastle, Joelinton, may miss the remainder of this season due to a groin injury.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the club will soon decide on the treatment method for the Brazilian midfielder. If they opt for surgery instead of a conservative approach, Joelinton will not play again this season but will be ready for the start of pre-season training in the summer.

It is expected that the club will not take risks with the health of the 27-year-old player and will indeed resort to surgical intervention.

In the current season, Joelinton has played 23 matches in all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists.
