Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe said he was "not 100 per cent sure" if he would include Joelinton in his squad for Sunday's Premier League home game against Fulham after the midfielder was charged with drink-driving.

Northumbria Police charged Joelinton with "driving whilst above the prescribed limit for alcohol" after he was stopped in the early hours of Thursday.

The Brazilian is due to appear in court at the end of January.Howe, whose team are third in the league, said the club will deal with the matter internally and educate the 26-year-old about the situation."I'm going to have to reflect and analyse that.

I'll make a decision closer to the game, in consultation with him. I'm not 100 per cent sure," Howe told reporters on Friday when asked about Joelinton's potential involvement in the game."It came very much as a shock.
