Yoane Wissa
29-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 9/18/2025
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.
Ruled out against Wolves
Wissa has suffered an apparent knee injury while on international duty with RD Congo and is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Wolves, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Unfortunately he won't make this game. I saw him for the first time yesterday and he's feeling the effects of the injury sustained just before he came off [while on international duty]. We're going to have to see how he is."
ANALYSIS
Wissa has suffered a knee injury while on international duty with RD Congo and needs to see some specialists in the coming hours to know the extend of that injury. The new striker of the Magpies will miss the game against Wolves on Saturday. That said, his absence will therefore leave some space to Nick Woltemade to take a larger role from scratch in the frontline.

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.
