Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has provided an update on both Joelinton and Chris Wood after the duo went off injured in Riyadh.
But there is positive news on both fronts as the pair walked out of the stadium in good spirits and the moves appeared to be nothing more than a precaution by Howe and his staff. Wood went off before the break while Joelinton was walked around the pitch after withdrawal with the physio.
Howe told reporters after the game: "I think Chris has just got a back problem. I don’t think it’s too bad. Joelinton felt a tightness in his hamstring. I don’t think it’s a pull or anything. Fingers crossed, they’re not too bad."
