"Wissa looked superb for Brentford last season, and this led Newcastle to pay 55m to sign him this summer. However, the 29-year-old has clearly arrived with some fitness problems, and there is growing concern about when he could return to action. NUFC are likely to have to wait until after the October international break to have Wissa available for selection."
"Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has a major concern behind the scenes regarding summer signing Yoane Wissa. The Magpies signed the DR Congo international from Brentford late on in the summer transfer window as they looked to replace the departing Alexander Isak. Isak left for Liverpool, and Newcastle responded by signing two new strikers in Wissa and Nick Woltemade."
Newcastle signed Yoane Wissa from Brentford for £55m late in the summer window as part of a response to Alexander Isak's departure to Liverpool, alongside signing Nick Woltemade. Wissa has not yet made his debut for Newcastle because of fitness problems that have caused growing frustration behind the scenes at St James' Park. Club sources are concerned it may be some time before Wissa can be used in matches. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe indicated Wissa most likely will not be called up by the Congolese national team during the upcoming international break.
