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.”
EXPERT ANALYSIS: EDDIE HOWE IDENTIFIES "CONFIDENCE" AS THE KEY TO FIXING NEWCASTLE’S AWAY FORM
Despite a nervy second half, Eddie Howe’s side clinched their second away win of the season. Read the full Turf Moor match report.
Eddie Howe’s team barely scraped by Burnley, grabbing only their second Premier League away win this season.
The Magpies jumped ahead quickly with a goal from Joelinton at Turf Moor. Soon after, Yoane Wissa, in his debut Premier League start for the club, made it 2-0. Josh Laurent then scored an awesome volley, cutting the lead in half. Newcastle clung to their lead until Bruno Guimaraes scored a third goal during stoppage time.
It wasn't a pretty game for Newcastle United on that cold night in Lancashire. They needed those three points, especially after that tough loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Friday.
This win nudged Howe’s team into the top half of the Premier League, with Crystal Palace and Leeds United up next. But, let's be real, their play didn't exactly inspire confidence that they've turned things around away from home.
Eddie Howe shared his thoughts on Newcastle United’s win over Burnley. What’s the answer to their away game struggles? Howe thinks it boils down to ‘confidence.’
“I think we've been close before. I feel we're headed in the right direction when you look at how we’re playing, Howe said as he talked about his team’s showing.
“If you keep playing well, you’ll win. Manchester United is a good example. I don’t think we played badly, and we had chances to get more from the game. We didn't score, but we played well overall.
“I think we will win games because of the kind of play that we have, and that’s what happened. We're not feeling super confident right now, which is clear.
“But, I think it’s mostly a confidence thing. And the only way to fix that is to win the next game.”
Howe said this: “It was a huge win for us. I don't think it matters how we got it. We just needed to get it.
“We started really strong, knowing how crucial this game was. I can’t say enough about how the players fought through it.
“That second half was significant for us. We had to make it.
“I give the players credit for finishing the game and showing the team's character.”
Newcastle United now has a few days to chill after the win at Turf Moor before heading back to Tyneside for four home games in a row. First up is Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday. After that, they’re up against Daniel Farke’s Leeds United at St. James’ Park on Wednesday, January 7.
Then, they’ve got two cup games against Premier League teams. They’re hosting Bournemouth in the FA Cup and then playing the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
EDDIE HOWE ADDRESSES ALAN SHEARER’S COMMENTS BEFORE TONIGHT’S MAJOR KICKOFF AT BURNLEY
Alan Shearer sets a massive challenge for Newcastle United: win the next four games to ignite their 2026 Premier League campaign.
Before tonight's game against Burnley, Alan Shearer told Newcastle United what he wants to see in the next month.
Newcastle is currently 14th in the Premier League, which isn't good enough, but there's still a lot of the season left.
Even though Eddie Howe isn't in danger of losing his job, people are still worried about how the team is playing.
Another loss at Burnley on Tuesday would really increase the pressure. Alan Shearer thinks this game could be the start of something better.
Newcastle United Needs to Win Their Next Four Games
On Match of the Day, the Newcastle United legend sounded positive about the team's next few games and & thinks this could turn their season around.
He said, Yes, this could change things. A few weeks ago, everyone thought Fulham would get demoted, but they've won three straight games, and & now they're in the top half.
Newcastle needs to do that. Their next four games are against Burnley, Palace, Leeds, and Wolves. They have a good chance to win some.
These four league games are part of a busy January for Newcastle, with important Champions League matches against PSV Eindhoven and PSG and an FA Cup game against Bournemouth, as well as the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final versus Man City.
This period of games could really make or break Newcastle's season.
He should stay until the end of the season so everyone can make a better decision instead of rushing into anything. Hopefully, there will be more choices to replace him by the summer.
Where Newcastle Could Be If They Win
Let's say Newcastle wins all four of their games. It might happen, but those 12 points might just push Newcastle to just outside the top five or six in the league.
Aston Villa could get no points during that time and still be ahead of Newcastle before they play each other at the end of January. That shows how far apart Newcastle and Aston Villa are this season.
Still, getting to 35 points before the end of next month would really help Newcastle. The teams above them will probably also get points, so Newcastle might not move up the table much, but it's important for them to catch up to their rivals soon.
