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.”
€75 MILLION BID: NEWCASTLE LAUNCHES MASSIVE TRANSFER OFFENSIVE FOR FERRAN TORRES
Newcastle United has reportedly launched a shock €75 million bid, plus a huge salary offer, for FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, testing the Catalan club's resolve.
Newcastle United is reportedly planning a big move in January for FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres. According to Fichajes reporter Raul Cabrera Jimenez, the club is ready to offer €75 million, plus a good salary, to bring the former Premier League player back to England.
Jimenez stated that Barcelona is in a busy period of the transfer window after Newcastle United showed strong interest in signing Ferran Torres with a huge offer of 75 million.
The situation heated up after Manchester United and Chelsea made £60 million bids for Harvey Barnes.
Jimenez wrote that Newcastle responded with an even bigger offer to show their financial power in the transfer market.
The report says Barcelona was surprised by Newcastle's big offer, calling it one of the highest in this transfer window. Jimenez pointed out that Torres has been in good form, scoring nine goals and providing one assist in 17 games before Tuesday’s game, which is why several clubs are interested in him.
Jimenez added that Newcastle plans to make Torres one of the highest-paid players in the team, offering him a salary of £13.5 million per season. This shows their desire to get a player who can really change the game from day one.
The report also talked about the issue that Barcelona is facing. Jimenez said that the club needs money, but it also wants to keep its good players, and Ferran Torres is one of them.
Even though Barcelona had said before that Torres was not for sale, with NUFC already contacting them in the past, Jimenez said that FCB must now consider the big money offer against the player's new importance under Hansi Flick.
Jimenez finished by saying that the next few weeks will be important, as Newcastle is determined to push for a signing that will help them progress and compete at the top of the league.
HOWE PRAISES NICK WOLTEMADE: STAR STRIKER READY FOR UCL CHALLENGE DESPITE SETBACK WORRIES
Newcastle star Nick Woltemade, settled in with eight goals and his best friend, laughed off questions about his dating life ahead of the crucial UCL game vs. Leverkusen.
Newcastle United's Nick Woltemade chuckled when asked about his dating life since moving to Tyneside.
The 23-year-old striker spoke at a press event before heading back to Germany for Wednesday's Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen.
Woltemade, who joined from Stuttgart four months ago for about £69 million, has had a great start, scoring eight goals and getting one assist.
When asked about how he's settling in, he mentioned living with his best friend.
"I don't get why everyone's talking about living with my friend," he told reporters. It's normal when you move to a new country, right? I just asked my friend to come with me. I don't know what you call it in English, living with your best friend.
Then, when asked if he's met anyone special, Woltemade laughed and said, No, too many games!
Newcastle is currently in fifteenth place in their Champions League group, with three wins and two losses.
They’re up against a Leverkusen team that's not doing so well in their domestic league, sitting fourth and trailing the top spot by 15 points.
However, Eddie Howe had good things to say about the German team, which let go of their previous coach earlier in the year.
Reaching the next phase is what we want, Howe said. It'd be great to avoid a playoff, but we’re up against some good teams.
I’m happy with how we've played in the Champions League so far. We deserved more in our two losses. Bayer Leverkusen is a great team with a clear style, so it'll be tough.
Lately, we've had trouble defending set plays, but that's fixable. You always find things you suddenly need to work on during the season.
Howe also gave an update on Yoane Wissa, who played his first game for the club in their 2-1 victory over Burnley.
Howe said Wissa has worked hard to get here. He still has some work to do to reach his peak. Howe said he's happy to have him available, and they’ll manage his playing time.
Once Yoane is at full speed, which he isn't quite yet, he'll be ready to start, Howe added. We'll decide game by game.
After the Champions League game, Newcastle will travel to Sunderland for the Tyne-Wear derby.
