Yoane Wissa & Lewis Hall injury timescales, Ross Wilson, plus more news!

Newcastle head to the Amex Stadium with momentum, but manager Eddie Howe struck a measured tone in his pre-match press conference. He confirmed that Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento are still being monitored closely, with Hall likely to miss out due to a lingering knock, while Livramento remains a doubt but could feature depending on late fitness tests. Interestingly, Howe also addressed Yoane Wissa, clarifying that although Wissa is not a Newcastle player, his name came up in broader injury discussions—likely a mix-up or media speculation. On the administrative side, Howe praised Ross Wilson, Newcastle’s director of football, for his strategic vision and calm leadership, noting that Wilson’s influence has been “transformative” in shaping the club’s recruitment and long-term planning. With Brighton’s attacking flair and Newcastle’s defensive resilience, this fixture could hinge on tactical discipline and squad depth.This podcast has been created and uploaded by Newcastle Fans TV, the views in this podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT.
