Callum Wilson has “no doubt” he will make England’s World Cup squad - providing he stays fit for Newcastle United. Another frustrating start to the season saw the Magpies’ number nine bag twice before suffering a hamstring strain against Manchester City.
Injuries have plagued the 30-year-old’s time on Tyneside since arriving from Bournemouth for £20million. There can be no qualms over Wilson’s goalscoring record but 35 Premier League games missed - almost an entire season - in little over two years is alarming.
The striker signalled his intention to get back into the England squad upon arrival at St James’ Park. As it stands, Wilson has earned four caps for the Three Lions - his last coming against Bulgaria in October 2019.
