Newcastle's Yoane Wissa to Miss Debut Until November

Newcastle's recent acquisition, Yoane Wissa, will have to wait longer to make his debut for the club as his recovery period extends to eight weeks following a knee injury suffered while on international duty.

Extended Recovery Period

29-year-old Wissa, who joined Newcastle in a £55 million move from Brentford, was initially expected to return after the international break but will now be sidelined for an additional two weeks, delaying his debut until November.

Manager's Update

Newcastle's head coach, Eddie Howe, confirmed the setback, stating that Wissa saw a specialist for a check-up and will need more time to recover, without any complications in his healing process.

Wissa's absence will impact Newcastle's upcoming fixtures, with the midfielder likely to miss five games across various competitions, including the league trip to West Ham on Nov. 2.

Positive News for Jacob Ramsey

In contrast, midfielder Jacob Ramsey is progressing well from an ankle injury and could feature in Newcastle's next Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, sooner than anticipated by Howe.
