Joelinton

Joelinton (knee) started and played 56 minutes of Sunday's FA Cup loss to Brighton.

Joelinton (knee) is progressing well in his recovery and will likely be a late call for Sunday's clash against Brighton in the FA Cup, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Sven and Joe have a chance. Today is a big day for them. Today we will see how close they are, whether they train with the team for the first time or not. Knowing both players, they will be keen to be involved."

Joelinton (knee) is continuing his rehabilitation and is nearing a return, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Joe is really improving, doing really well, pushing again. He is close."

Joelinton (knee) is pushing for a return, but coach Eddie Howe stated in the press conference that they want to reintegrate him at the right time. "He's doing really well. He's pushing as Joe always does. We just need to make sure we introduce him at the right time."

Joelinton (knee) will be sidelined for a few more weeks, and the team hopes he will be fit and available to play in the Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool. Coach Eddie Howe provided an update on his recovery in a press conference. "We hope by that time [Carabao Cup Final] he will be back fit and available. He is very driven to get back. Joe is making good progress. When he approaches his injury, he is very positive to get back and shave time off the estimated target that he has been given, which is a great thing, but also, we need to control that and make sure that he comes back in a really good place. He is very positive at the moment."
