Joelinton will get an enforced rest this weekend at Southampton after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 4-0 rout against Aston Villa.
And for now, his dream of pulling on a Brazil shirt at the World Cup in Qatar is still alive. Or at least for another week or so.
The £40million man has been in fine form for Newcastle this season in both midfield and attack with a goal and assist to his name. His strike against Aston Villa came in front of watching Brazil boss Tite but whether it is enough to secure a place in the 26-man squad remains to be seen.
