Newcastle United will be without Joelinton for the next two Premier League fixtures after the Brazilian picked up his 10th yellow card of the campaign against Manchester City. The 25-year-old picked up the booking in the 53rd minute.

Premier League rules state any player that is shown 10 yellow cards in their side’s first 32 Premier League fixtures will serve a two-game suspension. United’s clash with Pep Guardiola’s side was the 24th match of the season.

Joelinton will now miss league matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James’ Park and Nottingham Forest away.

United trailed 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium when Joelinton was yellow carded after Phil Foden’s 15th minute opener.
