Joelinton haircut: Newcastle to take 'appropriate action' against forward

Newcastle say they will take "appropriate action" against forward Joelinton after he appeared to breach coronavirus rules by getting a haircut.

The Brazilian, 24, posted a photo on Instagram, which has now been deleted, of him having his hair cut by a barber.

All hair salons and barbers in England are currently closed under lockdown regulations.

"We are disappointed by the image shared by Joelinton," said a Newcastle United spokesperson.

"There are clear Covid-19 protocols in place and the club continues to guide and educate its players on their responsibilities.

"The club will be taking appropriate action internally.
