Joelinton scored for Newcastle United in their Carabao Cup quarter-final win against Leicester CityNewcastle United boss Eddie Howe says Joelinton's drink-driving charge came as a "shock" and he is unsure about picking him against Fulham on Sunday. Joelinton, 26, was stopped by police in the early hours of Thursday and is scheduled to appear before magistrates on January 26. Joelinton has played 21 games for the Magpies this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists. The Brazilian's latest goal came with his side's second goal in a 2-0 Carabao Cup win against Leicester on Tuesday. "We're now in a position where we're supporting him, and we also understand as a football club the seriousness of the situation."
