Eddie Howe Confirms Joelinton's Absence for Season Opener Against Liverpool

Matthias Jaissle, Newcastle United's manager, confirmed that Brazilian midfielder Joelinton will miss the match against Liverpool in the opening round of the Premier League, scheduled for August 23.

Joelinton is struggling with an injury that has kept him from the team's preparations for the new season. Reports indicate that the player will need a recovery period before making his return to the pitch.

Joelinton's absence comes as another blow for Newcastle, especially since he served as the team's vice-captain, at a time when Yassine is preparing to officially start his mission in the Premier League with a tough match against Liverpool.

Yasle confirmed that his team will not be at their best during the match against Liverpool, due to the short period of working with the group. Meanwhile, the German coach continues to rebuild the team ahead of the season's kickoff.

Joelinton is expected to be out for several weeks, meaning Newcastle will have to rely on other options in midfield at the start of the season.
