Eddie Howe has confirmed that Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury and will miss out next three games.
Wilson is yet to make an appearance in a black and white shirt this season after a procedure on his back over the summer. His last outing came in May and now appears the 32-year-old has muscle tightness that will keep him sidelined for our double header with Chelsea and Arsenal’s visit to St James’ Park next Saturday.
On the setback, Howe said: “We’re going to lose Callum for the next three games. He’s just had some tightness and felt he hasn’t been able to kick on to the last part.”
“He’s felt a tightness in his body. He hasn’t felt like he could kick on. With Callum, we are hypersensitive to any reaction to the work. There’s no injury as such, he’s just not ready to come back”
Craig Hope reports that Eddie Howe and the medical team have revamped their strategy this season and are wanting to make sure players are back to 100% fitness before playing instead of rushing them back.
It’s another unfortunate loss for Newcastle as we again will rely on an out of form Alexander Isak for goals this weekend and only emphasises the need for another attacker who can stay fit.
