Newcastle boss Eddie Howe could drop Brazilian midfielder Joelinton after his arrest for drink driving.

The 26-year-old who has become a key member of Howe’s in-form side in the last year, was stopped by police during the early hours of Thursday morning and later charged with driving whilst above the prescribed limit for alcohol.
