(Reuters) - Newcastle United have suffered an injury blow with their new striker Yoane Wissa sidelined for at least another four weeks after suffering a knee injury on international duty with DR Congo, manager Eddie Howe said on Friday.

Signed for 55 million pounds ($74.26 million) following a protracted transfer saga when Brentford rejected Newcastle's initial bids, Wissa was brought in to fill the attacking void left by Alexander Isak's departure to Liverpool.
