CALLUM WILSON NEWS

May be option Saturday Wilson (hamstring) may be an option for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Everyone's improved. I'll leave my team news until the time when we...

Impact Wilson seems most unlikely to return of the hamstrung players, but there's still a slight chance he's on the bench. Given his injury history, it's probably not the best idea for him to return too soon and with the international break ahead, it makes a little more sense for him to get an extra two weeks of recovery in before playing.

Awaiting hamstring scan Wilson is awaiting a scan on his hamstring, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He's OK. The normal process is he's gone for a scan and we're waiting for those results. We hope it's...

Impact Wilson seems to pick up multiple hamstring injuries per season and he already has one in the first month of the new campaign. There's no reason to expect him to be ready for the next match and the scan should confirm that. The question is who will start up front, as Chris Wood will likely be that guy, but Newcastle have a Cup match on Wednesday and then the next league match Sunday at Wolves.

Impact Wilson was very sharp up front Sunday as Newcastle made a statement with their performance and result against the two-time defending Premier League champions, but his day ended a bit early as he felt tightness in his hamstring. His status will be one to monitor ahead of next weekend's clash against Wolves, with Chris Wood the center forward replacement if Wilson is unable to play.

Records goal Wilson scored one goal during a 2-0 win Saturday versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Because the Magpies did not sign a forward in between June 10 and Saturday, Wilson will continue being their main striker until further notice. The 30-year-old's latest game log positively indicates how much of an admirable footballer he is when healthy.

Scores brace in finale Wilson scored two goals from four shots, created one chance and made one tackle (won) in Sunday's 2-1 win at Burnley.

Impact Wilson scored twice, first converting a PK in the 20th minute before finding the back of the net again in the 60th to double their lead and help them earn three points on the road. The forward completed the campaign with eight goals from 35 shots after 18 appearances (16 starts), decent numbers considering his continued injury problems.

Fires three shots Wilson took three off target shots and created a chance during Monday's 2-0 win over Arsenal.

Impact Wilson was held off the scoresheet as Newcastle took down Arsenal on Monday. The forward didn't cross and created only one chance but his three shots were the team-high total in the win.

Draws first start since December Wilson is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Wilson played 22 minutes a little more than a week ago and he's back in the starting XI Monday, the first time since his calf tear in December. While he fancied himself to score a goal if in the XI, it's hard to see him going a full 90 given the layoff with Chris Wood an option to come on for him after 60 or 70 minutes.

Takes shot in loss Wilson subbed into Sunday's match against Manchester City in the 68th minute and he took a shot on target in the 5-0 defeat.

Impact Wilson made his first appearance since 2021 on Sunday after recovering from a calf injury, and he had one of his side's best chances to score during his 20 minutes or so on the pitch against City. He will continue working his way towards full fitness and will hope to be able to return to the starting lineup before the season ends.

Good chance for Sunday Wilson (calf) has trained and should be an option Sunday against Manchester City, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Callum has trained all week and I've been really pleased with hi...

Impact Wilson should be on the bench Sunday, but there's no reason to expect him back in the starting XI right away. He'll likely get a bench appearance or two, especially given his history of muscle issues. Joelinton and Chris Wood will again fight for the central striker role Sunday at Man City.

Back in full training Wilson (calf) is back in full training ahead of Sunday's trip to Manchester City, he recently revealed on the Footballer's Football Podcast.

Impact Wilson appears to be close to a return, though after missing four months with a muscle injury, it's hard to see him getting a ton of time right away. He'll likely make an appearance or two off the bench before starting with three matches to go. Chris Wood had already been benched with Joelinton playing in more of a forward role and it looks like Wilson could close the season back in the XI.

Yet to train with team Wilson (calf) has yet to train with the team, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Callum isn't quite there yet but he's edging closer and is doing a lot of work with the sports scien...

Impact Unless Wilson returns to training early next week, it looks like he's set to miss the team's next two matches. Having been out since December, he'll need a week of training to get back his fitness before he's an option again. Joelinton played well as a central forward last match, while Chris Wood is still there to serve as a body in the box for Newcastle.

Impact Wilson has been out since December with the injury and it still seems like he's another couple weeks from a return. They don't want to rush him back to the pitch and since he isn't training with the team yet, it's more likely he's another two weeks away from being available again, at a minimum.

Rehab on schedule Wilson (calf) has been seen working with the ball on the training pitch and he's on schedule to return later this season, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Callum's injury, you hav...

Impact Wilson is probably another month away from a possible return. Given his history with muscular injuries, he can't be rushed back too soon, which puts his return near the end of the campaign. Fortunately for Newcastle, they've had a nice run of results despite only one goal from Chris Wood up top.

Unlikely until end of season Wilson (calf) isn't expected to be ready in the next month, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Hopefully he can make the last few games of the season and really help us in the key m...

Impact Wilson is recently off crutches, so he still has a long way to go to get back to full health. At this point, there's a decent chance he isn't ready until April, which is making clear why Newcastle pushed for a transfer of Chris Wood before the window ended.

Still has no timeline Wilson (calf) still doesn't have a timeline to return, he recently revealed on a BBC podcast.

Impact It's been more than a month since Wilson suffered the original injury, so this update is a bit alarming. He clearly isn't progressing quickly and will likely face another month or two on the sidelines. Fortunately for him, Chris Wood is now on the team so they at least have a striker to take his spot up front.

Impact This isn't a great sign for Wilson, as it appears he'll be out at least a month and possibly more. Muscle injuries can be tricky, especially for someone who has had a number of them over the years. He's currently on six goals in 15 appearances this season.

Set to miss extended period Wilson is expected to miss an extended period with a calf injury suffered Monday. According to manager Eddie Howe, "It doesn't look good. I don't know what the extent of it is but...

Impact It's a tough injury for Wilson, who picked up the injury while dribbling the ball untouched against Man United. Unfortunately, it looks like he'll be out about a month with another muscle injury, meaning more time for Joelinton in a striker role or even Dwight Gayle, as Allan Saint-Maximin also picked up an injury.

Newcastle isn't quite out of the woods yet, as next up is a clash against Manchester United, which have conceded 24 goals in 16 Premier League matches this season.

Scores in win Wilson scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 1-0 win over Burnley.

Impact Wilson scored his second goal in as many games with a smooth finish during Saturday's win. The striker has found his footing and some solid form and could be a fringe fantasy option. Next up is a tough Sunday trip to Leicester, which should be a real test of his fantasy floor.

Impact Wilson found the back of the net in the 61st minute, converting a penalty to open the scoring in the match. The goal was the fifth of the season for the forward while his two shots and three chances created were both team-high totals in the draw.
