Joelinton in Newcastle line-up against Fulham after arrest for drink ... (Chard & Ilminster News)

Joelinton kept his place in the Newcastle starting line-up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham despite his midweek arrest for drink driving.

Joelinton has established himself as one of the stars of Newcastle’s resurgence after emerging from the doldrums of his days as a misfiring £40million striker on Tyneside to reinvent himself as an influential midfielder. Magpies boss Eddie Howe had admitted at his press conference on Friday morning that he was undecided over what to do with one of his key performers in recent months. The 26-year-old Brazilian was named in an unchanged side for the game at St James’ Park three days after he was charged with driving whilst above the prescribed limit for alcohol after being stopped during the early hours of Thursday morning.

We also understand, as a club, the seriousness of the situation. He knows the seriousness of the situation. 'But we will back him and support him, while also educating him and helping him, that is important. I'm in consultation with him.
