Joelinton has now served the first game of a two-match suspension which will see him sidelined at Newcastle United for almost a month. The former number nine picked up the ban after being shown his 10th yellow card of the season in the defeat at Manchester City.
Eddie Howe admitted he was 'desperately disappointed' to lose Joelinton to suspension, but Newcastle rallied in his absence to earn a crucial victory over Wolves on Sunday. The Magpies head coach made five changes to the starting eleven, and Miguel Almiron was introduced as a substitute to score a vital late winner.
Newcastle stars did their now customary lap of the St James' Park turf to applaud supporters, and were welcomed back into the dressing room by their suspended team-mate. Heartwarming footage shared by the club on social media in the wake of the 2-1 win firstly shows Matt Ritchie expressing his delight at seeing Joelinton.
