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.

Set for training game Wissa (knee) is set to play another training game this week, according to Lee Ryder of The Chronicle.

Impact Wissa played in an 11-a-side training match last week and is targeting another such match this week. He's not going to feature for at least another week for the senior team, but this semi-match action is a great step in his recovery.

Impact Wissa is progressing well in his recovery from a long term knee injury since he participated in an 11v11 opposition in training last week, ending the session without any issues. The striker will have another one in the coming days and if he does fine after this one, he will be very close to making the match squad next week. This is good news for the Magpies since his return will be a nice boost for the attack and will allow the other forwards to rest. Wissa scored 18 goals for Brentford last season in 35 appearances and will look to contribute the same with his new club once available.

Joins team training Wissa (knee) was spotted training with his teammates for the first time on Wednesday, according to Craig Hope from the Daily Mail.

Impact Wissa damaged his posterior cruciate ligament and could not train with the team until Wednesday. The striker returned to work on grass while kicking the ball and moving closer to a spot in the match squad. The upcoming games will come too soon for Wissa as he is targeting a return against Sunderland on Dec. 14, according to reports. Until then, Nick Woltemade is expected to remain the starter to lead the line for the Magpies.

Impact Wissa is working well on his recovery from a knee injury and is close to resume team training with his new club, although he remains far from making his return to competition. The striker will however expect to return before the end of the year to play his first minutes with the Magpies. Until then, Nick Woltemade has been leading the frontline for Newcastle.

Still sidelined Wissa (knee) will miss Saturday's clash with Manchester City, but is ramping up his workload, per manager Eddie Howe. "Still out, but is starting to up his work now."

Impact Wissa will miss at least one more match, but he's ramping up his workload. It's a good sign that he could be back before too long. Wissa would be a key option in the team to complement Nick Woltemade. Wissa scored 18 times and added four assists last seasons with Brentford.

Impact Wissa has shown good improvement after being spotted on grass working on his fitness. The newcomer still needs some time to be robust enough to make the match squad, but his return to competition isn't far. Until he is fully fit, Nick Woltemade will remain the main starter leading the line for the Magpies.

Yoane Wissa suffers another injury setback: Newcastle's striker set to miss proposed return date as long wait for debut continues

Nearing return, likely after break Wissa (knee) is nearing a return and could feature Nov. 2 against West Ham, but appears to be out until at least the international break, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Lee R...

Impact Wissa has been battling knee issues since the start of the season and has yet to see a minute this season, not debuting with the Magpies. However, the forward is nearing a return to action after around two months out, possibly in contention for their match against West Ham. On the other hand, it does appear they are taking his return cautiously, and it may take him a bit more time to see the field, likely to eye a return following the end of the November international break. This will cause a bit of competition in the forward department, as Nick Woltemade has bagged five goals in eight matches since taking over the starting role at forward.
