Joelinton out: Newcastle injury news ahead of Arsenal game
Newcastle could be without several regulars when they face Arsenal, with late calls expected on Trippier, Botman and others before Sunday's meeting at the Emirates.

Trippier, who missed last weekend's win over Chelsea with a calf injury, is a major doubt, and Eddie Howe has admitted there is currently 'no idea' whether the defender will return in time. 'We would love to get [Trippier] back quick and able to play a part. I have no idea at this moment in time, I don't know if that is possible.'
Botman, meanwhile, returned to the starting line-up for the first time since February following knee surgery, but required treatment at half-time. 'I think he was icing a problem at half-time, so we hope he's OK,' Howe said. He will be assessed further ahead of the trip to north London.
Former Arsenal midfielder Willock also remains doubtful after suffering a hamstring injury, with Howe admitting that the short turnaround may rule him out for the rest of the season.
Photo byJoelinton, Lewis Hall and Matt Targett are all expected to miss the remainder of the campaign, although Joelinton's condition is being closely monitored following a specialist's review of his knee issue. The Arsenal game seems too soon for him, however.
Jason Tindall confirmed Hall will not feature again this season, though his recovery is progressing well. 'He's doing great,' he said. 'I don't think we will see him play again this season if we are being honest. But he's recovering well and he is on the right road to recovery.'
