Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson has fuelled speculation that his recovery from injury is almost complete.
The 29-year-old has been sidelined since hobbling off during the 3-2 victory over Southampton in February.
Wilson has been nursing a torn hamstring, and has missed the last six Premier League games as a result.
Not including Southampton, the game in which he went off, the Magpies have failed to win a single game in his absence, scoring just three goals in the process.
But it seems Wilson is feeling good about making his return very soon.
Taking to Instagram to share a montage of clips from his time in a Newcastle shirt so far, he wrote: “Can’t wait to get back out there.”
He also ominously included the egg timer emoji.
It comes after he recently stated that there was a game he had in mind for his return.
Many Magpies supporters have suggested he was referring to the clash with Tottenham Hotspur on April 4.
Wilson’s return to the starting XI and to form will likely be crucial in the club’s bid to stave off the threat of relegation.
At the moment, the club are just two points ahead of 18th-placed Fulham, who have made big improvements in 2021 under Scott Parker, especially in defence.
Following the injury news about Isaac Hayden, Wilson’s return will be most welcome no doubt.
