Na three o’clock BST, di Magpies go face di Wolves for St James’ Park, and dem dey target di first league win of 2025/26 season after international break. But wetin we dey hear? Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey no go fit play. Abeg, wetin happen?
Howe talk say Wissa, di DR Congo international, go dey sidelined because e get knee injury wey e collect as e dey represent him country. Na serious wahala be dat! E no even go fit make him debut for di club. Howe say, “Unfortunately, he won’t make this game. I saw him for di first time yesterday and he’s feeling di effects of di [knee] injury.” Na so him take ginger us about wetin dey happen for di camp.
As if dat one no be enough, Ramsey go join am for sidelines too. E catch ankle injury during Newcastle’s last outing against Leeds United. Howe no dey happy about am o, because e talk say, “Unfortunately, I think he’ll be missing until di next international break, so dat’s a big blow.” Na so we see say injuries dey give dem wahala for dis early season.
But make we no forget Nick Woltemade! Di German striker dey prepare for him debut after im record signing from VfB Stuttgart. Howe talk say him don settle well for training, and e dey look forward to fit shine for di match against di Wolves. “He’s got a great nature, a great character. He’s very calm,” Howe praise am. Chai, dis Nick don enter dem good books already! (We dey hope say e no go disappoint).
Meanwhile, Howe also don talk about di new CEO, David Hopkinson. Ah! Dis one na correct appointment, e say. “He’s a great person, really great energy. I think he’s a great appointment.” Na wetin we like to hear! With all di changes wey dey happen behind di scenes, we sabi say dem dey ready to move di club forward.
As dem dey prepare for di match, Newcastle dey face serious challenge to find dat clinical edge. Di Magpies don collect two goalless draws and a late defeat against Liverpool dis season, so dem need to step up. “I feel like those players that have stayed needed some work,” Howe talk as dem don spend di international break to train.
Dis match against Wolves go be big opportunity for Newcastle to show say dem get fire for di pitch. Di Wolves dey struggle without point, so if Newcastle fit pick dis win, e go boost their morale. E go sweet if Newcastle fit bag dia first league win dis season. We dey feel say if dem keep focus, di goals go surely come.
Make we no forget say every player go get him part to play as di games dey come thick and fast. Dis season go hot, and we be dey ready for all di drama wey go unfold!
