Yoane Wissa - knee

Newcastle United forward Yoane Wissa (29) is set to miss the Premier League match against Wolves after suffering a knee injury during DR Congo’s recent World Cup qualifier vs. Senegal.

🎙️| Eddie Howe: "Unfortunately he won't make this game. I saw him for the first time yesterday and he's feeling the effects of the injury sustained just before he came off [while on international duty]. We're going to have to see how he is."

As a result, Wissa will not make his debut for the club against Wolves. Whether he will be fit for Newcastle’s upcoming Champions League opener vs. Barcelona remains uncertain. (Source: Newcastle United)

🎙️| Eddie Howe: “Yoane saw a specialist again yesterday for a check-up on his knee. We probably think now it’ll be eight weeks rather than six [from the point of the injury]. It’s no recurrence or problem, just slightly longer.” (Source: Hayters)

Update Friday 17 October 2025

🎙️| Eddie Howe: "Yoane’s had his first time on the grass with us, which was great to see and his knee has reacted well to that work so far. It will now be a case of stepping him up gradually. I know he is desperate to get out and show his worth but it’s one step at a time now.” (Source: Newcastle United)
