Joelinton is emerging as one of Eddie Howe's dressing room leaders at Newcastle United.
As the sun shone down in Riyadh, the Brazilian was leading the way with the fun and games ahead of training with his team-mates with a huge smile on his face at the Al Hilal FC Training Field. But wasn't just the warm weather training that had Joelinton in great fettle.
The last 12 months for Joelinton have arguably been his best in a black and white shirt after the South American dovetailed perfectly with Howe as head coach. There was concern for Joelinton as he limped off against Al-Hilal last week, but the early signs are good that he will be OK for domestic action.
