Wissa will need time to hit top form, says boss
The Journal
|October 25, 2025
EDDIE Howe has warned that Newcastle United must manage expectations with Yoane Wissa with the DR Congo international edging closer to a return.
Howe confirmed that Wissa could be in contention for next weekend's game against West Ham at the London Stadium after a knee injury suffered in September. The former Brentford forward has not yet kicked a ball for the Magpies after his £55m move from the Bees.
And Howe feels that he will have to go through a preseason reboot after suffering one setback already. Wissa was meant to be back for the recent game at Brighton but was given another two weeks to recover.
Newcastle, understandably, have Alexander Isak's Liverpool situation in mind.
The ex-United striker had no preseason to speak of, having gone on strike, and has since struggled for form and fitness, culminating in a groin issue forcing him off at halftime in midweek.
