Newcastle United’s striker, Callum Wilson, has provided an update on his recent injury setback via social media after withdrawing from the latest England squad. Wilson had been a regular player for Newcastle since Alexander Isak’s injury, but his hamstring injury during the match against Dortmund forced him off at halftime.
As a result, Newcastle finds themselves without a recognized striker, raising the possibility of Anthony Gordon continuing in that role, where he excelled for England in the Under-21 Euros tournament this summer. Despite the setback, Wilson assures fans and manager Eddie Howe that his injury doesn’t appear to be severe, and he anticipates making a return to the pitch soon.
Despite Wilson’s injury, there is a positive outlook as he maintains a good spirit and looks forward to a two-week rest during the international break. On social media, Wilson expressed, “Unfortunately, a recent setback has meant I had to withdraw from the squad that I’d worked so hard to be a part of. Strong walls shake but never collapse, so for sure I’ll be back soon.”

While Wilson has faced injury challenges throughout his career, his recent spell with Newcastle had been relatively injury-free before this setback. The rotation between Wilson and Isak had been beneficial for the striker’s fitness. However, with Isak also sidelined, the team faces a challenge in maintaining their attacking prowess.
Both Wilson and Isak had contributed significantly to Newcastle’s successful start to the campaign, establishing themselves as potent strikers in the Premier League. The club now hopes for a swift recovery for the attacking duo, especially with crucial domestic and Champions League games approaching. However, there’s a cautious approach to not rushing Wilson back too soon and risking further harm to his hamstring.
