Wissa's double gives Jaissle winning Newcastle debut

Matthias Jaissle made a winning start as Newcastle boss with a 2-1 comeback victory at Valencia in a pre-season friendly. Substitute Yoane Wissa scored twice in the second half to secure the win at the Mestalla, according to Sky Sports.

The match was marred by a shocking red-card tackle from José Gaya on Anthony Elanga in the first half, which left Newcastle's winger stretchered off the pitch. However, the injury appears less serious than initially feared — Elanga suffered a shin contusion and was later walking normally.

At his post-match press conference, Jaissle expressed relief: "It seems to be not bad, so we are pleased. I hope it's true, then he can start again next week." The German manager admitted he feared the worst at the moment of impact, but the medical team's assessment left him more optimistic about the Sweden international's condition.
