Nets equalizer Wissa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Portugal.

Impact Wissa scored the equalizer during Wednesday's draw, a heroic goal that split the points in the World Cup opener. Wissa could have had another goal, but was unable to put his shot on target. He's going to be a key part of the attack through the rest of the World Cup, with most of Congo's attacking moves flowing through him.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Offensive leader for Congo Wissa has been named in Congo's World Cup squad as the primary attacking threat under coach Sebastien Migne.

Impact Wissa managed one goal across 19 Premier League appearances including just four starts this season with Newcastle United, a frustrating campaign that saw him operate primarily as a bench option rather than a regular starter. His pace, directness and clinical finishing instinct remain his most dangerous attributes, and the freedom of international football could allow him to rediscover the form that made him such an exciting prospect in previous seasons. For Congo, Wissa is the focal point of the attack and is expected to form a dangerous partnership with Cedric Bakambu, with the two combining pace, physicality and experience to give opposing defenses a varied and unpredictable challenge. A fully motivated Wissa on the World Cup stage could be one of the more dangerous attacking weapons available to any team in the tournament.

Relegated to secondary role Wissa hasn't started a Premier League match for Newcastle since Feb. 7.

Impact Wissa missed three games in February due to an undisclosed injury, but he hasn't started since, either in the Premier League or the UEFA Champions League. Wissa signed with Newcastle during the summer transfer window but has made just four starts in the EPL campaign, and he hasn't scored a goal in all competitions since the 3-0 win over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League back on Jan. 21.

Back at full fitness Wissa is back at full fitness after a recent injury, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Lee Ryder of The Chronicle. "So I think Yoane is getting back to his best fitness levels,...

Impact Wissa is done with his undisclosed injury after returning three games ago, with the forward deemed to be nearing his top fitness levels. This comes amid a battle up front for time, as the fall signing has only started in five games despite his expectation to replace the major loss of Alexander Isak. Nick Woltemade continues to see the nod at forward over Wissa, but with the German's newfound role in the midfield, Wissa could earn more time if he takes advantage of his opportunities, with only one goal in 12 appearances this campaign.

Newcastle player ratings vs Qarabag: Sandro Tonali and Joelinton get the job done as Magpies cruise into Champions League last 16 despite defensive lapses

Makes bench Wissa (undisclosed) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Qarabag.

Impact Wissa has passed his testing and is with the team Tuesday, working into a spot on the bench. He has yet to earn a true starting role since joining the club this season, with injuries being a major hindrance, earning two goals in 14 appearances (five starts) with the club.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Close call to face Qarabag Wissa (undisclosed) is a late call for Tuesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We hope they'll be involved. We'll see how they are when they wake up tomo...

Impact Wissa returned to training Monday, and that may be enough for him to play Tuesday, with the forward set to face some late testing in the morning. This would be a solid addition to the bench if he is picked for play, already missing 22 games this season due to his injuries. That said, if he is picked, he is unlikely to see the start, probably earning some time from the bench.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in training Wissa (undisclosed) was seen in training and could be an option for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Qarabag, according to Chronicle Live.

Impact Wissa could be an option for Tuesday's Champions League match against Qarabag after being seen in training Monday, having missed the last three matches across all competitions due to a knock sustained in training. The forward had started three of the five matches prior to his setback, and his return would provide added depth at the center-forward position for the Magpies.

Likely to return next week Wissa (knock) remains out for Saturday's clash against Manchester City but could be back in contention for Tuesday's Champions League second leg against Qarabag, coach Eddie Howe s...

Impact Wissa has missed the last three games across all competitions after picking up a knock, and Saturday's showdown against the Citizens comes too soon for him to get back on the field. The striker is trending toward a return Tuesday in the Champions League clash against Qarabag, assuming there are no setbacks in the coming days. Until he is cleared, Nick Woltemade is in line to handle an expanded role up top for the Magpies and should continue seeing increased run in the attacking rotation.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Could miss some games Wissa (knock) could miss a couple of games due to an issue suffered in training, coach Eddie Howe said to the media, according to Shields Gazette. "Yoane picked up a knock in train...

Impact Wissa missed Saturday's FA Cup win over Aston Villa after picking up a knock in training ahead of the match. The issue could sideline him for multiple games in the coming weeks, which makes this one to track closely given his recent run as a regular starter for the Magpies. If he is forced to miss time, Nick Woltemade is in line for an expanded role in the attack until Wissa is back in the fold.

First career UCL goal contributions Wissa scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 win versus PSV Eindhoven.

Impact Wissa opened the scoring for Newcastle Wednesday before assisting their second in a 3-0 home victory over PSV Eindhoven.
