Yoane Wissa News: 16 minutes from bench

Wissa appeared for 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win against Brentford and is set to play moving forward, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He looks positive, body language is very good. He's been boosted by coming on the pitch, ready to take on minutes. The challenge we have now is limited training times between games, which we have to get right. He showed the qualities he had in those twenty minutes, and he will only get better."

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.
