Wissa club v country row looming as Howe avoids questions on Afcon availability

Wissa club v country row looming as Howe avoids questions on Afcon availability

The article discusses a potential club-country dispute over Yoane Wissa, a forward for Newcastle United who is currently injured. Wissa, who recently joined Newcastle from Brentford, sustained a knee injury while on international duty with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) national team in September. The article states that Wissa is yet to make his debut for Newcastle due to the injury and is still undergoing intense physiotherapy. While he is expected to be fit in time for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has not confirmed whether he would be willing to release Wissa to represent the DRC in the tournament. The article suggests that this could lead to a potential club-country dispute, as Wissa's availability for the national team remains uncertain. The article provides limited details, focusing primarily on the injury and Howe's reluctance to discuss Wissa's international availability.
