Newcastle confirms yet another injury setback via a statement from Howe on Friday morning.

Eddie Howe has verified that Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson will be absent from the team’s

next three matches due to a setback in his rehabilitation from injury. Wilson has not yet donned a black and white jersey this season as a result of a back procedure that was performed during the summer. It appears that the 32-year-old will be unable to participate in our double fixture with Chelsea and Arsenal at St James’ Park next Saturday due to muscle tightness, which he has not experienced since May. In response to the setback, Howe stated, “We will be without Callum for the next three games.” “He has been experiencing some tightness and has been unable to continue with the final segment.” “He has experienced a sensation of constriction in his body.” He has not felt as though he could continue. We are acutely aware of any response to the work that Callum may exhibit. No, there is no injury; he is simply not prepared to return. Craig Hope has reported that Eddie Howe and the medical staff have altered their strategy this season to ensure that players are fully recovered before they begin playing, rather than rushing them back. This is yet another unfortunate defeat for Newcastle, as we will once again depend on an Alexander Isak who is currently out of form to score goals this weekend. This only serves to underscore the necessity of acquiring an additional attacker who can maintain his fitness.
