Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton is in contention to face Liverpool on Sunday, manager Eddie Howe said, easing concerns over the Brazil international's fitness after he was forced off in last weekend's loss to Manchester City.
"Joe is fine. We didn't see him in the early part of the week but he trained in the latter part so fingers crossed he's okay," Howe told reporters on Friday. Juergen Klopp's Liverpool were the only team to beat Newcastle both home and away last season, winning 2-1 at Anfield and 2-0 at St James' Park, and are unbeaten in their last 13 games against the Tyneside club.
"Last year we were disappointed with two defeats. The one at Anfield was a difficult night and the home game was painful in a different way," Howe said.
