The 28-year-old sustained it against Southampton last month, and has missed the last five Premier League games.

Wilson is due back in April following the conclusion of the next international break.

Newcastle’s first game back after the next lot of international games is against Tottenham Hotspur on April 4, and the signs look good that Wilson will be fit for the clash.

Today, the club released pictures of Wilson running outside and doing some ball work.

They also grabbed a word with the ex-Bournemouth star, who said: “I have got a game in mind what I’m aiming to get back for – that’s my motivation throughout my rehab.

“I won’t reveal that because we’re working, like I say, and making sure it’s all controlled and everything goes well.”
