"Newcastle United's new forward Yoane Wissa could miss the start of their Champions League campaign after suffering a knee injury, while fellow signing Jacob Ramsey will be sidelined until October. Newcastle signed Wissa in a £55m deal on transfer deadline day, also adding Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade in anticipation of Alexander Isak's British-record move to Liverpool. Wissa scored 19 Premier League goals for Brentford last season, with none of them coming from the penalty spot. Only Mohamed Salah (20) netted more non-penalty goals."
"However, the 29-year-old was substituted during DR Congo's World Cup qualifier against Senegal on Tuesday after sustaining a knee issue, and he must now see a specialist. Boss Eddie Howe has confirmed Wissa will miss Saturday's Premier League match against Wolves, while his participation in their opening Champions League game against Barcelona is also uncertain. "He won't make this game. I saw him for the first time yesterday," Howe told reporters."
Yoane Wissa could miss the start of Newcastle's Champions League campaign after suffering a knee injury and being substituted during DR Congo's World Cup qualifier against Senegal. He must see a specialist and will miss the upcoming Premier League match against Wolves, with availability for the Barcelona game uncertain. Newcastle signed Wissa for £55m on transfer deadline day and also added Nick Woltemade amid Alexander Isak speculation. Wissa scored 19 Premier League non-penalty goals last season. Jacob Ramsey, signed for £43m, will be sidelined until October with an ankle injury suffered before the international break. Manager Eddie Howe described the transfer window as challenging but hopefully successful and said the club's focus is now football without off-pitch distractions.
