Yoane Wissa - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Opens scoring in victory Wissa scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 3-1 win against Burnley.

Impact Wissa scrambled home the ball at the goalmouth in the early stages of the first half Tuesday to give Newcastle the platform from which to stage a 3-1 road victory over Burnley. The striker's appearance marked his first in the Newcastle starting XI for a league fixture since his transfer from Brentford during the summer transfer window.

Impact Wissa would finally make his first appearance for Newcastle Saturday, but only for a few minutes, coming on the field for a short 16-minute stint. This is massive news for the club, as he should be deemed fit moving forward, with the club finally having its star summer signing available. He should work into a starting role in the coming matches, likely to be a massive boost to the Newcastle attack despite Nick Woltemade's solid performance filling the spot.

Finds bench spot Wissa (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Burnley.

Impact Wissa has trained twice in a full 11v11 opposition without feeling any pain, but he will only find a place on the bench for Saturday's clash against the Clarets. The striker is close to full readiness, though the staff will manage his return by limiting his role. This still represents excellent news for the Magpies since he can boost the frontline and provide an option after scoring 18 goals last campaign with Brentford.

Impact Wissa is very close from making the match squad after training for the second time in a 11v11 opposition on Wednesday without feeling any pain. The striker will be a late fitness call ahead of the game and could make the squad if deemed fit enough. This is excellent news for the Magpies since he will be a nice addition in the frontline and boost the line, strong of his 18 goals scored last campaign with Brentford.

Impact Wissa could be back on the bench for Saturday's clash with Burnley after playing another training match.
