Joelinton Injury: Likely out a few weeks

Joelinton (groin) is set to miss a few weeks with his injury, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Joe won't make the game. He has had a scan, we don't think it is a bad injury, but we think he will be out for a few weeks. He will miss a few games."

Joelinton will not be with the club for UCL action this week and is likely to miss out on a few more games due to his new groin injury. Unfortunately, the club is going to have to do without a regular starter, leaving Lewis Miley and Jacob Ramsey as potential replacements, with Bruno Guimaraes (ankle) still questionable. Joelinton will still head in for further testing as he goes, hoping to be an option a week or two into February.
