Newcastle’s Yoane Wissa Out Four to Five Weeks With Knee Injury, Set to Miss Six Games

The layoff stalls a £55 million signing who was recruited to bolster Newcastle’s attack during a congested start.

Overview

The forward sustained the knee problem playing for DR Congo against Senegal and returned to Newcastle for scans.
Sky Sports’ Keith Downie reports the issue is not as severe as first feared, with a projected four-to-five-week recovery and a likely return after the October international break.
He is set to miss Premier League fixtures against Bournemouth, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, Champions League ties with Barcelona and Union Saint-Gilloise, and a Carabao Cup game at Bradford City.
The setback delayed his debut after he was unavailable for the win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Eddie Howe will turn to Nick Woltemade, with Will Osula as cover, while Anthony Gordon is suspended for Bournemouth.
