This Sunday, Joelinton was forced to leave the field prematurely during the meeting between Brentford and Newcastle (3-1) after a violent clash with Dango Outtara. The Brazilian midfielder received a blow directly to the shin, which was only partially protected by his small shin guards, causing a significant injury and bleeding. Despite prompt treatment from medical staff, Joelinton was unable to continue and was replaced by Jacob Ramsey.
On social networks, the player was widely criticized for the choice of his shin guards considered too small, with some Internet users claiming that he could have avoided this injury with more suitable equipment. Note that Joelinton has suffered 43 injuries during his career since January 2015.
