Jamaal Lascelles: Making good progress

May 2nd

Lascelles (knee) is making good progress since returning to training but is unlikely to feature again this season unless there are injuries in the squad, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to the Northern Echo. "Jamaal is making good progress and I'm really pleased with how he looks since coming back to training. It has been a slow steady return - he's certainly not been rushed. Possible he could be involved before the end of the season but I think maybe it would depend on injuries with some of the other players within the squad. Maybe for Jamaal it would be better if it was next season. But if he feels good and he's done enough training then it's something we'll look at."

Joelinton Cassio Apolinario de Lira: Unlikely to return this season

May 2nd

Joelinton (knee) is unlikely to play again this season, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "The likelihood is that it will be difficult [if he will play again this season]. But with Joe you never rule him out. He's so motivated to try and come back. He had a bit of discomfort in his knee last week before the game so we sought specialist opinion and the opinion was it was nothing serious but he needed a period of rest so he's now in Brazil. We'll wait and see if we can get him back before the end of the season but the likelihood is probably not."
