Eddie Howe has confirmed Yoane Wissa won’t be involved against West Ham this weekend — and there’s no clear date yet for his debut.
The £55m summer signing from Brentford picked up a PCL injury with DR Congo, keeping him out since May. Howe says Wissa is “working hard on the grass” but still needs time to build up his fitness.
Despite the frustration, Howe praised his attitude:
“He’s a leader — positive, driven, and great with the lads. It’s been tough being out after such a big move, but he’s handled it brilliantly.”
The Magpies will hope to see Wissa in black and white soon, as they chase back-to-back league wins at the London Stadium this Sunday. ⚫️⚪️
