Yoane Wissa
29-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 10/18/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wissa has improved each year with Brentford, but 2024/25 was the biggest step yet, as he tallied 18 goals and four assists. He didn't lead the team in either category, but he established himself as a top attacking option in the Premier League. Unfortunately, there's some concern for Wissa heading into 2025/26 with a bit of upheaval in the squad from manager to key starters. Repeating last season's output seems unlikely, but as a focal point in the attack with seemingly guaranteed minutes, maybe things won't change that much for him.
Out until international break
Wissa (knee) is expected to be out until after the October international break, per manager Eddie Howe. "Yoane will - we hope - be back after the next international break, so that's the plan. That can always change, it's always flexible... but I think that's what I've been told."
ANALYSIS
Wissa is set for more than a month on the sideline with the knee injury. That means he will miss one of the busiest periods of the schedule, including two Champions League matches. Nick Woltemade is expected to lead the line, with Anthony Gordon also available if needed to play up front.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Newcastle to launch new bid?
Newcastle are expected to launch a new bid to sign Wissa, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
The Magpies are ready to do everything in their power to secure the services of the DR Congo international, who's also keen on completing a move to St. James' Park. However, Brentford aren't going to give the green light on the move until they can sign a replacement. They already acquire Dango Ouattara, however, so perhaps a move can happen in the coming days.
