"Yoane Wissa is yet to make his Newcastle debut after joining in a 55 million transfer from Brentford on deadline day. Wissa immediately went on international duty with the Democratic Republic of Congo, for whom he scored in back-to-back World Cup qualification fixtures. Unfortunately for Eddie Howe, Wissa came off during DR Congo's 3-2 defeat by Senegal with a knee injury."
"Upon assessment by the Newcastle staff, it was revealed Wissa would require a spell on the sidelines in order to recover from the issue, delaying his black-and-white debut by several weeks. Ahead of this week's Carabao Cup fixture at home to high-flying League One outfit Bradford City, Howe has revealed it is good news on the injury front for Wissa."
"He's receiving treatment and no operation is needed. I think we're looking at [a comeback on] the other side of the international break. We hope he can be fit and available for that first game. October's international break takes place during the second and third weeks of the month meaning Wissa can be expected to make his Toon bow when Newcastle visit Brighton and Hove Albion on October 18."
Yoane Wissa joined Newcastle for a 55 million transfer from Brentford on deadline day but has not yet made a debut. He scored in consecutive World Cup qualification matches for the Democratic Republic of Congo before sustaining a knee injury during a 3-2 defeat by Senegal. Newcastle's medical assessment indicated a spell on the sidelines is required but no surgery is necessary. Manager Eddie Howe said Wissa is receiving treatment and should be targeted for a comeback after the October international break. The player is expected to be available for the October 18 trip to Brighton and the subsequent Champions League match against Benfica.
