Newcastle midfielder Joelinton says there's no excuses after their Champions League defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund.

The Toon lost 1-0 to leave their hopes of getting out of their group in the balance.

Joelinton said: "I don't think it was the conditions. We did our best against Dortmund.

"With these things, you have to come back and prove yourself, everyone in the team. Myself, I did not play my best game on the night (vs Dortmund). But tomorrow is another day. We go again because Saturday vs Wolves is an important game.

"We did not play our best. But we could still have won it.

"We had good chances in the second half. But it has happened now and that is football. We now have to regroup, come back stronger and go again Saturday."
