Latest update on Callum Wilson injury news
As has been tradition under Eddie Howe, Newcastle capped off their win on Saturday with a dressing room photo. Fans noticed that many of the injured players were included, but Callum Wilson was absent.
Wilson is still yet to appear for Newcastle this season and it was confirmed that he would miss the Arsenal match after his injury problems continued.
Ahead of Saturday’s clash against Arsenal, Howe issued an update on Wilson’s injury, revealing that he will now be out until the November international break.
Howe said: “Callum is doing okay, he’s building his load again.
“There was no real injury but just a feeling in his body that he couldn’t push as hard as he wanted. We’ll see how he is but probably with the two-week gap [the international break] it’s best to leave it.”
