Sport Recife welcomed midfielder Joelinton, who was developed in the club's youth system, as he returned to train at the CT during his vacation in Pernambuco. Currently playing for Newcastle in England, Joelinton expressed his gratitude to the club and highlighted the importance of Sport in his career. He stated that each visit to the CT is special and filled with good memories, recalling the people who contributed to his growth as a player. Joelinton began his professional journey at Sport in 2014 under coach Eduardo Baptista and remained until 2015 when he was sold to Hoffenheim in Germany. During his time at Sport, he played 39 matches and scored seven goals. Despite being far from Brazil, Joelinton continues to follow Sport Recife's performance in the Brazilian Serie B. He was pleased with the club's recent victory over Náutico and sent messages of support to the team, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the fighting spirit. Sport Recife, currently in third place in Serie B, will return to the field this Thursday against Atlético-GO, seeking another victory to solidify their position in the standings.
