Newcastle United's starting XI for this evening's Premier League clash against Manchester City (kick-off 5:30pm) will feature at least one change.
As confirmed by Magpies' boss Eddie Howe at his pre-match press conference, Joelinton will be sidelined for a minimum of six weeks after sustaining a quad injury during last weekend's Tyne-Wear derby win at Sunderland.
The Brazilian is one of 10 senior players ruled for the visit of last year's quadruple winners.
Howe said: "Joey's injury is another freak injury, one where he's off-balance trying to switch play. He gets pushed in the back, his leg goes to an awkward angle and ends up with an injury.
"Unfortunately for us, any injury we've picked up this year hasn't been a one or two week injury, it's been six to eight weeks at a time where we can't afford it.
"We're really stretched in the attacking and midfield areas, and we have been for a long time. It's inhibited our ability to rest players and also change the flow of games by bringing players on who can make a difference. It's been difficult."
Lewis Miley is in line for a return to the starting XI in Joelinton's place, but will Howe make changes to other areas of his team? NewcastleWorld predicts how Newcastle will line-up against Pep Guardiola's men:
1. GK: Martin Dubravka
The Slovakian has silenced his critics in recent weeks with two excellent performances against Liverpool and Sunderland.
2. RB: Kieran Trippier
Trippier too looked back to his best against Sunderland. The right-back's last goal was THAT free-kick against City last season.
3. CB: Fabian Schar
Schar has been one of the club's most consistent performers for a while now and that was recognised when he signed a new deal earlier this week.
4. CB: Sven Botman
The Dutchman is slowly making his way back to full fitness following three months out with a knee issue.
