Democratic Republic of the Congo striker Yuan Wissa faces a four to five-week absence after sustaining a knee injury during international duty. Sky Sports confirmed the 29-year-old forward suffered the setback while representing his country during the recent break. Medical assessments revealed the damage was less serious than doctors initially feared. The injury prevents Wissa from making his debut for his new club after completing a transfer deadline day move. Coach Eddie Howe must adapt his plans without the striker for at least six upcoming fixtures.
Wissa targets a return following the October international window as he begins his rehabilitation process. The timing proves particularly frustrating since the player has yet to feature in any competitive matches for his new employers. Medical staff expressed relief that the injury avoided more severe complications that could have extended his recovery period significantly. The setback represents an early challenge for Howe as he integrates new signings into his squad plans.
