Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is delighted to have Joelinton back from injury.

The midfielder is available for their clash with Liverpool.

Howe said: "I think whenever you lose a player of Joe's quality, or someone like that, and you're without those qualities in your team you realise how important they are - not that we ever needed confirmation of that, but sometimes it's felt harder, especially with some of the other players we've got missing.

"Joe came on and made a little cameo for ten or 15 minutes and showed what he can bring - his ability in duels, and to bring that fight in the middle of the pitch is something we missed in the game, so fingers crossed we can keep him fit."
