YOANE WISSA SKIPS AFCON: HUGE BOOST FOR NEWCASTLE'S WINTER SCHEDULE
Newcastle United confirms Yoane Wissa will miss AFCON to focus on knee injury recovery. Eddie Howe is keeping the £50M forward's exact December debut date a secret to avoid disappointment.
Yoane Wissa of Newcastle United won't play for DR Congo in the Africa Cup of Nations because he's still getting over a knee injury. This injury has kept him from playing for Newcastle since he joined from Brentford back in September.
The good news is that Wissa might be ready to play for Newcastle in December. He's been working hard to get back in shape, and Eddie Howe is eager to have the 29-year-old back on the field.
How many goals do you think Yoane Wissa will score for Newcastle United this season?
Nick Woltemade has been scoring, but he hasn't had much support.
Many fans were worried that Wissa would get fit, play a few games, and then leave for AFCON.
But it's now official: he won't be in the DR Congo team for the tournament in Morocco. The forward has wished his teammates good luck.
Wissa has promised to be DR Congo's biggest fan at AFCON. The team confirmed their squad on Monday, and Wissa was noticeably absent. While this is a setback for his country, it's good news for Newcastle. In 35 games for DR Congo, Wissa has scored eight goals.
Wissa posted a story of the squad list on Instagram, saying, I’ll be the number one supporter!! Big up to the family.”
How many games did he miss due to injury during his Brentford career? How much of a difference could he have made? And why is Eddie Howe keeping Wissa’s debut date for Newcastle United a secret?
It seems like the £50 million player will debut for the club soon, but the exact date is still unknown. This has been the worst injury of his career, so they're being careful not to rush him back. Players who miss preseason need time to get up to speed, as Alexander Isak has shown at Liverpool.
Howe is keeping Wissa’s return date a secret because he doesn't want to disappoint people if there are any setbacks.
At a press conference before Saturday’s win at Everton, Howe said, “We have a date in mind, but we will keep that to ourselves. I don’t want to disappoint anybody. We want to involve him as soon as possible, but we want him to be ready to play well.”
EDDIE HOWE SHUTS DOWN SANDRO TONALI ARSENAL LINKS AS NEWCASTLE STAY FIRM
Eddie Howe speaks out on Sandro Tonali's future at Newcastle United following intense transfer links with Arsenal this window.
Sandro Tonali looks happy at Newcastle, no matter what the transfer deadline rumours tried to stir up. For a little while, talk of him heading to Arsenal got loud enough that Eddie Howe felt the need to step in and set things straight. Newcastle’s manager didn’t dance around it—Tonali’s settled, involved, and locked in. Sure, coaches can’t always kill off all the outside noise, but Howe wanted everyone to know where things stood.
After those stories started swirling, Howe went straight to Tonali for a chat. He gets how fast these things can spiral. Newcastle fans have seen enough drawn-out sagas to know what uncertainty feels like, and nobody wants to go through that again.
Someone asked Howe if he thought there was more behind the rumours. He shrugged it off: “I don’t think so. That would surprise me. But there’s always stuff happening I don’t know about. As far as I see it, we’ve got a top player and a great person on our hands.”
Tonali means more to Newcastle than just his price tag or contract. They brought him in for £55 million, and he’s signed on until 2029, with an extra year option. He’s a key part of their plans, both on the pitch and on the books. Naturally, that kind of player gets attention—especially since Europe isn’t exactly overflowing with elite midfielders.
But Howe really wanted to highlight the human side of it all. “Sandro’s very happy here. He gets on well with everyone, and you can see he’s in a good place. I honestly don’t see a problem. Of course, I can’t control everything. If I knew where all these rumours came from, I’d be smarter. But Sandro’s totally fine. We talked yesterday. He’s focused on what we’re doing right now.”
He wasn’t done: “There’s no issue with Sandro. He’s happy and committed. But let’s be real—our best players are always going to turn heads elsewhere. That’s just football.”
As for the transfer window, Premier League spending rules kept Newcastle’s hands tied. Howe didn’t sugarcoat it: “Financially it wasn’t possible. We’re under restrictions and had hardly any money to use this window, so we’ll wait for the summer when the market opens up and maybe we’ll get better value.”
He admitted the squad’s still a bit lopsided, especially at the back, but he’s convinced that a healthy squad changes things.
For now, Newcastle’s just focused on the essentials. Keeping Tonali happy and at the heart of things matters way more than the latest gossip. His happiness is reassuring for the moment, but as Howe pointed out, nobody really gets to control everything in football these days.
EDDIE HOWE CONFIRMS BRUNO GUIMARAES AND LEWIS MILEY OUT VS CITY
Newcastle face a midfield crisis as Bruno and Miley are ruled out of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Manchester City. Get updates.
Eddie Howe has given the latest on Lewis Miley, Bruno Guimaraes, and Sven Botman as Newcastle United get ready for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final at Manchester City.
It’s another tough night ahead for Newcastle. They’re already two goals down after losing the first leg at St James’ Park, and now they’re missing even more key players. That third Carabao Cup final in four seasons is starting to look like a big ask.
Honestly, the stats aren’t great. Newcastle haven’t scored—let alone won—at Man City since Howe took charge. Their only win at the Etihad came way back in 2014, when Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko got the goals in a 2-0 victory. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Injuries keep piling up. Tino Livramento, Joelinton, Fabian Schar, and Emil Krafth are all out. Bruno Guimaraes sat out the 4-1 loss at Liverpool with an ankle problem, and both Lewis Miley and Sven Botman stayed on the bench as unused subs.
After that Liverpool game, Howe explained the situation. “Sven had a tight thigh, and the advice was not to use him. That’s why he and Lewy were on the bench—we wanted to give them every chance to be fit. Sometimes, you hope something changes in the warm-up, but with such a quick turnaround, you just don’t have time to get all the info you need,” he said.
“With Lewy, he just couldn’t bend his knee enough to be fit.”
Asked about the chances of players returning against Manchester City, Howe said, “Probably our best bets are Sven and Lewy since they were on the bench at Liverpool. For Bruno, I’m not sure—there’s a chance, but the others are definitely out.”
But just before the City game, Howe gave another update. Turns out, both Bruno and Miley are out for this one. “Yeah, Bruno’s doing well, but I don’t think he’ll make this game—maybe the weekend. Sven Botman is okay, but I’m not sure about Lewy either.”
