Yoane Wissa could make his Newcastle United debut against Wolves on Saturday

Yoane Wissa was about to realise a dream by moving to the Premier League.

But in July 2021, a month before he joined Brentford from Lorient, it very nearly turned into a living nightmare.

Wissa was attacked at his home, with acid thrown in his face. He could have lost his sight. It could have ended his career.

A woman was later convicted of the attack, and of attempting to kidnap his daughter, and was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
