Newcastle United dealt fresh injury blow with Joelinton off vs Leeds United

Newcastle United have suffered a fresh injury blow after Joelinton had to be taken off during their game against Leeds United this afternoon.

The 24-year-old was replaced by Sean Longstaff in the 41st minute and appeared to be holding his groin as he left the pitch at Elland Road.

It was the second time in 10 minutes that Joelinton had gone down and Eddie Howe has taken no risks by taking the midfielder off, rather than keeping him on and possibly worsening the problem.
