Newcastle are set for another crisis in the striking department after learning the extent of an injury to Yoane Wissa.



Wissa joined Newcastle from Brentford after the Toon were in dire need of a new striker, alongside big money purchase Nick Woltemade.

Woltemade scored against Wolves on his debut, as Newcastle secured their first three points of the Premier League season.



Wissa though was not in the matchday squad, and when Woltemade was substituted against Wolves with 25 minutes remaining, Howe had to turn to 22-year-old William Osula who has just two Premier League goals.

Wissa could miss up to seven fixtures for the Toon, meaning he will not be available to Howe until after the October international break.



The 29-year-old will miss the start of Newcastle’s Champions League campaign, a Carabao Cup tie and up to four Premier League games.

The injury means Woltemade is likely to carry the goal scoring burden for Newcastle for the foreseeable future.
