Newcastle star Joelinton forced off injured just 18 minutes into first pre-season clash against York City

NEWCASTLE could have potentially been dealt an early pre-season blow with an injury to Joelinton.

The Brazilian striker, 24, lasted just 18 minutes off Toon’s friendly clash with York City today before he was forced off.

He had just produced some neat play to get into the box before dragging the ball back to Jeff Hendrick.

York’s defence cleared the danger but Joelinton had already gone down as he called for medical treatment.

The new No7 attempted to come back on but his efforts were in vain and he was soon withdrawn.

Dwight Gayle came off the bench to replace him as the former Hoffenheim forward went straight down the tunnel.
