Question about call assignment loss/wash sale

If I buy XYZ on Monday for 4.75, sell a covered call for .35 with a strike of 4.50, and get assigned on Friday, I would have made an easy .10 a share. My fear is that since I bought XYZ within the past 30 days, would I not be able to claim the loss of .25 a share to offset the .35 gain? If I rebuy XYZ the next week, could that also trigger a wash?
