Newcastle United are anxiously awaiting the availability of a crucial member of their starting lineup before their upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth this weekend.
The Magpies may have to do without Callum Wilson on Saturday following an injury he sustained during their previous game against Nottingham Forest.
During the intense 3-2 encounter between Newcastle and Forest, Wilson, who is 31 years old, strained the chest muscle that connects the upper arm and shoulder, as reported by the Daily Mail.
This unfortunate incident could result in the forward being absent for their next match, which would be a significant setback for the team considering their existing injury woes, including Alexander Isak’s groin injury, and their aspirations for another victory.
There is a small glimmer of hope that Wilson, who still has 18 months remaining on his contract, can continue playing despite the injury. However, a final decision will not be made until closer to the game.
Since the beginning of the season, Wilson has found the back of the net seven times in 16 Premier League matches.
