Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has admitted that Yoane Wissa will not make his debut this weekend.
The Tyneside outfit face basement club Wolves on Saturday but they will have to do so without their deadline day signing.
"Unfortunately he won't make this game," Howe said.
"I saw him for the first time yesterday and he's feeling the effects of the injury sustained just before he came off [while on international duty]. We're going to have to see how he is."
Nick Woltemade will be there however, with Howe insisting that the Germany international has trained well this week and is ready to be in the squad for the first time.
"He's fine [for Wolves]. He's trained well and we're really pleased with how he's looked in the first couple of days. Big change for him, big opportunity for him.
"He's got a great nature, a great character. He's very calm and he's gone straight into our training and not looked out of place. He's shown his qualities. We're really pleased with how he's settled in."
