Newcastle United desperately rely on Callum Wilson.
The number nine is our main source of goals, and has enjoyed a strong start to the season despite Newcastle’s woeful form.
Wilson has scored four Premier League goals in seven appearances so far. It would have been five had he not been cynically wiped out when through on goal against Brighton.
His tally is all the more impressive considering he’s missed four games due to injury.
With his former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe now calling the shots at St James’ Park, there is hope that Wilson could become even better in black and white.
Howe has got off to a great start at Newcastle, with every decision he makes going down well with fans.
He had his players in for training on Saturday, but there was a twist. Rather than the usual training ground session, Howe’s men travelled to St James’ Park to practise on the hallowed turf.
However, there was an issue. Callum Wilson was nowhere to be seen.
The 29-year-old wasn’t pictured by the club’s photographer, and neither was Ryan Fraser – who recently pulled out of the Scotland squad due to injury.
Wilson’s absence has got fans talking on Twitter, as they question where the leading scorer could be. Some fear he could be injured, which has been a recurring theme during his Toon career.
It might be nothing. Hopefully there’s nothing to it.
With a huge game coming up against Brentford on Saturday, Newcastle desperately need to have their best players available, and that includes Wilson.
Here’s hoping we have nothing to worry about…
