Newcastle United's new forward Yoane Wissa could miss the start of their Champions League campaign after suffering a knee injury, while fellow signing Jacob Ramsey will be sidelined until October. Newcastle signed Wissa in a £55m deal on transfer deadline day, also adding Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade in anticipation of Alexander Isak's British-record move to Liverpool. Wissa scored 19 Premier League goals for Brentford last season, with none of them coming from the penalty spot. Only Mohamed Salah (20) netted more non-penalty goals.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has admitted he shares the disappointment surrounding the sale of Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle United. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder recently sealed a permanent transfer from Villa to Newcastle for a fee of around 40m. Ramsey had been a key player at Villa Park, but the club have been under pressure for a while now to cash in on some of their best players.
