Newcastle United rocked by Callum Wilson injury blow

Callum Wilson celebrates his first goal against Leicester City.

The club, which is now safe from the threat of relegation, today revealed that Wilson suffered a hamstring injury in Friday night’s 4-2 win over Leicester City.

A club statement on Twitter read: “Callum Wilson will miss the final three games of the 2020/21 season after injuring his hamstring during Friday's win over Leicester City. Speedy recovery, @CallumWilson.”

Wilson, signed from Bournemouth last month in a £20million deal, had returned from the hamstring injury he suffered in February last month. The 29-year-old scored twice against Leicester to take his Premier League goal tally for the season to 12 from 26 appearances.

Speaking at the King Power Stadium, Bruce said: “He’s one of them big players. You can see the difference he gives to the team. I’m personally delighted for hi. He’s a huge team player too, which is vitally important for all of us.”
