"I think obviously Woltemade has hit the ground running. We haven't seen Yoane Wissa yet, unfortunately due to injuries. I don't think Newcastle will be rushing into anything just yet to make any plans for striker additions. They'll be hoping that Wissa can get fit and come in and prove his worth to the team as soon as possible. So I would say it's unlikely as things stand that Newcastle will be looking to bring a new striker."
"Wissa was involved in an Alexander Isak-style saga of his own during the summer, as he went on strike at Brentford to force through a move to Newcastle. He got his wish, but he has yet to make an appearance for his new club after suffering a knee injury during September's international break. Wissa is projected to return in the next couple of weeks, but there are already concerns about him."
Newcastle's season has been disrupted by injuries, leaving them without starting full-backs Tino Livramento and summer signing Yoane Wissa. Wissa forced a move from Brentford after going on strike but has not played due to a knee injury sustained during the September international break. He is expected to return within a couple of weeks, though concerns about his fitness persist. There has been speculation about a new striker to compete with Wissa and Nick Woltemade. The club is unlikely to pursue a January striker signing, instead focusing on Wissa's recovery while monitoring other squad areas.
