Former Newcastle United defender John Anderson says having Yoane Wissa back following a posterior cruciate ligament injury is a "big bonus" after the striker made his club debut in Newcastle's 2-1 win against the Burnley.
"Wissa's movement was good," Anderson told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"It's the first time we've seen him. When he's gone in behind, he seemed to get caught in two minds a little bit. But that's just rustiness. He hasn't played any football. The fact that he got 15-16 minutes will benefit him.
"He may well get game time again on Wednesday night. I don't think he'll start but I wouldn't be very surprised if he did start, but he most definitely will get game time along the way.
"It's good to have him back because it gives Eddie Howe different options, you know, because [William] Osula is out as well. So there's a lot of pressure on [Nick] Woltemade's shoulders, because there's nobody there to give him a breather.
"We've tried with Anthony Gordon up through the middle. Doesn't really work. So to have Wissa back is a big bonus for us."
