The reason for Callum Wilson’s absence from Newcastle United’s loss to Brighton following the

injury update on the training ground Newcastle United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at St James’ Park, marking the seventh consecutive hour in which they failed to score from open play. Newcastle, for the first time in 23 games, failed to score in a Premier League match at St James’ Park, despite Alexander Isak’s return from a three-game injury absence. Additionally, it was the Magpies’ first home loss since January. In a game in which Newcastle required goals, striker Callum Wilson was absent from the match due to his absence from training throughout the week. Additionally, head coach Eddie Howe stated that Wilson was “close” to participating in the match against Brighton; however, the club ultimately decided to grant him additional time to recuperate following a five-month absence from competitive play. “We must make a decision based on Callum’s long-term interests, and we don’t want to push him too early,” Howe stated. “He’s close, he’s trained, and he looks really good.” “We should observe his performance this week.”

Newcastle will play Chelsea in the Premier League on the upcoming Sunday, and a few days later, they will host The Blues at St James’ Park in the Carabao Cup. The expectation is that Wilson will be included in a matchday squad by the end of the month, as he has been unable to participate in the first few months of the campaign due to back and hamstring ailments. “The return of Wilson will be significant,” Howe supplemented. “You can observe that our performance would be enhanced if we had a Callum Wilson who is fit and firing, whether he starts the game or comes off the bench [v Brighton].” “Not only the player, but also the character and leadership qualities that he possesses.”
