Newcastle United WAG lands knockout blow on social media as Premier League's 'most hated' watches on

Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton’s wife Thays Gondim is proving she can pack a punch on social media.

Joelinton is so often the star of the show when it comes to his wife Thays Gondim’s Instagram.

But this time, the big Brazilian took a back seat, and was likely behind the camera, as Thays was the one packing a social media punch.

Along with the wife of Bruno Guimaraes, Ana Lidia Martins, the wives and girlfriends of Newcastle United’s Champions League-chasing players have been sharing their weekly workout routines.

And, more often that not, it involves rounds of boxing circuits.

The Premier League’s ‘most hated’ player?

While the girls glove up and go at it, it’s rare to see any of Eddie Howe’s playing squad in the gym, however. But this time, sharing to her Instagram, Thays, showed Joelinton, ahead of the Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, in the boxing gym with her.

And although Joelinton has a reputation as one of the most feared and most hated midfielders in the division, his wife lived up to his name with some knockout blows of her own, as the above video shows.

The £40million man is known for his all-action, physical style in the United engine-room. Built like a cruiserweight boxer, his approach is often criticised by opposition fans, particularly on social media.

Can Newcastle make history?

The Magpies are gearing up for hosting Wolves at St James’ Park on Wednesday, looking to make it nine wins in a row in all competitions.

Three points will see them rise to fourth in the Premier League table - and a win at home on Saturday lunchtime against fellow high-fliers Bournemouth even has the potential to see Howe’s men reach the heights of second, even if only for a few hours.
