Newcastle fans: Callum Wilson is ‘finished’ after confirmed news
Newcastle fans are furious after manager Eddie Howe admitted he’s unsure when Callum Wilson will make his return from injury.
The 32-year-old has missed all of Newcastle’s opening 10 games across all competitions so far this season after picking up a back injury.
Wilson missed 26 games for Howe’s side in 2023-24 but the manager fought to keep the striker over the summer transfer window after he was linked with a move away.
When asked about whether he may be back in time for their clash with Chelsea after their 1-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton on Saturday (October 19), Howe said, “He’s (Wilson) close.
“He’s trained and looked really good, but collectively we have to make a decision on the long-term interests of Callum. What we don’t want to do is push him too early, so let’s see how he does this week.“
Newcastle fans want to cash in on Callum Wilson
The Tyneside club haven’t scored a goal from open play in three Premier League games, with last season’s top goalscorer Alexander Isak only managing one in six league games.
Fans are starting to get frustrated, with many taking to X, formally known as Twitter, to voice their frustrations over Wilson’s ongoing injury issues.
