Substitute Yoane Wissa scored twice to give Matthias Jaissle a winning start as Newcastle boss with a 2-1 comeback pre-season win at 10-man Valencia.

But the friendly at the Mestalla threatened to be overshadowed by Jose Gaya’s red-card horror tackle on Anthony Elanga, which saw the Newcastle winger stretchered off in the first half and led to both sets of players clashing.

Fortunately for the Sweden international, his injury does

Newcastle: Tino Livramento out for eight weeks and wait for Yoane Wissa debut continues

By Total Football News

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says Tino Livramento’s eight-week recovery forecast is “good news” but the wait for Yoane Wissa’s debut will be “slightly longer”.

Defender Livramento previously suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his time at Southampton, leading to fears of a prolonged spell on the sidelines when the full-back was stretchered off during Newcastle’s defeat by Arsenal at St James’ Park on Sunday.

The 22-year-old subsequently missed out

With that in mind, Brentford’s valuation of Wissa is emerging as a factor in his future.

Brentford have no intention of losing both Mbeumo and Wissa this summer but, in reality, with Wissa turning 29 in September, the scenario of a depreciating asset – who this summer could command a fee in the region of £40m, if not more – will likely be a consideration.

That he has just 12

Liverpool have also targeted Ekitike as a possible alternative to their first-choice target, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.

Their goals against Brighton meant Mbeumo and Wissa have scored in the same match for the 18th time during their Brentford careers.

Only seven pairings in Premier League history have a better overall record.

“That’s an incredible achievement from the two of them,” said manager Frank after the win against Brighton.

“When you consistently over the past six seasons have produced top scorers, that must be something we’re doing right.

Since his first in December, 2021, Mbeumo has scored 10 penalties in all competitions in English football, missing none.

When it comes to just Premier League spot-kicks, only Cole Palmer, Raul Jimenez and Yaya Toure have taken more than the 25-year-old’s nine without failing to score.

Brentford’s last penalty-taking talisman was Toney who scored 11 from 12 yards in the English top flight, but even he missed his penultimate

But Frank is understandably circumspect. He points to last season, when Brentford were on 19 points after 15 matches and comfortably 11th in the table. But a run of 11 defeats in their next 14 games plunged them into relegation danger.

That dire run saw Frank recalibrate his side’s attack, with evident results.

“We started well last season for 11 or 12 games, then injuries hit us hard,” Frank said.
