Callum Wilson, the talented striker for Newcastle, has unfortunately suffered another setback in his career due to a hamstring injury. As a result, he will be out of action for approximately two months. This setback comes after a series of injuries, including back and hamstring problems, that have kept him from making his Premier League appearance until late November. Despite making a few substitute appearances this season, Wilson's latest injury will keep him off the field for a while longer.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Wilson's latest injury is not on the same leg as his previous hamstring issue. He felt the problem during his substitute appearance against Brentford on Saturday and scans have revealed it to be a serious strain. This means that he will not be able to play until at least mid-February. This news is a headache for Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe, as the team has a busy schedule ahead with five matches before the end of December. These include a Premier League match against Leicester, a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford, and games against Ipswich, Aston Villa, and Manchester United.
Wilson, who has not started a Premier League game or scored a goal since May, would have been an important player for Newcastle during this busy period. His presence on the field would have helped ease the workload for Alexander Isak, the team's top striker. However, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season and his age of 32 turning 33 in February, it is unlikely that he will be offered a new deal due to his injury-prone nature.
Newcastle is also facing the absence of key players such as Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth, and Sven Botman. However, there is hope that Joe Willock will be available for the upcoming match against Leicester. With only two points from their last four games, Howe will be eager to get back to winning ways and hopes to do so against Leicester this Saturday.
