I’ll make a decision closer to the game in consultation with him, so I’m not 100 per cent sure.' NUFC
Joelinton has been a brilliant player for the Magpies over the past year but he was stopped by police in the early hours of Thursday morning and was charged with driving whilst above the prescribed limit for alcohol.
“My relationship with Joe is very good. I have sat down with him and will do so again. Ultimately, I have to pick the best team to win the game, that’s my job, but I also have to take into account the situation around that.” Howe, who revealed Joelinton is desperate to play, said: “It came very much as a shock. It’s a difficult situation. Joe is very remorseful, he was very upset yesterday. I think he knows the seriousness of the situation.
“Everything will be dealt with internally. Looking at Joe as a person, he is a very good professional and is hugely passionate about his career and the club.
