Brentford's Yoane Wissa will miss the Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest due to uncertainty surrounding his future at the club. Manager Keith Andrews confirmed a rejected offer from Newcastle United, who bid 25 million plus 5 million in add-ons. Brentford values Wissa higher than this bid, although he seeks a move to a Champions League club. After leaving pre-season in Portugal, Wissa threatened not to play for Brentford, only returning to training recently. Andrews emphasized focusing on players ready for the match on Sunday, stating that Wissa won't be involved.
