Howe reveals double injury blow for Newcastle | OneFootball

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has confirmed that summer signings Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey will miss this weekend’s game against Wolves.

Wissa suffered a knee injury while on international duty with DR Congo, which is being assessed to determine how long he will miss.

Ramsey, meanwhile, suffered an ankle injury in the draw with Leeds and is set for a few weeks out.

“Unfortunately not, no,” Howe said when asked if Wissa will be available.

“He won’t make this game. I saw him for the first time yesterday. He’s feeling the effects of the injury he sustained just before he came off. So we are going to have to see how he is.

“I don’t know (how long he will miss). I think he will go away for tests and maybe see a specialist to see. Unfortunately I can’t give you that update.”

On Ramsey, he said: “Jacob Ramsey is the only other injury concern we have.

“He will miss the game having suffered from that tackle against Leeds. His ankle swelled up at half-time and he had to come off. Unfortunately I think he will be missing until after the next international break so that is a big blow.”

Joelinton has returned to fitness, however, and is available to face Wolves.

New signing Nick Woltemade could also be in line for his Newcastle debut.
