Callum Wilson a concern for Newcastle with Premier League return on the horizon
NEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe has cast doubt over the return of Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson. The 30-year-old suffered what was described as a “minor strain” while at the World Cup, although he was named on the bench for England’s quarterfinal loss to France. Following United’s 2-1 friendly win over Rayo Vallecano, Howe revealed he does not believe the injury-prone frontman is still suffering with that problem, but was cryptic when asked why he held Wilson back from a United return, unlike the Magpies’ other two Three Lions.
