Callum Wilson admits his head was 'spinning' before being substituted at half-time of Newcastle United's victory at Southampton. The number nine was replaced by Chris Wood at the break as the Magpies earned a 4-1 win at St Mary's on Sunday.
Wilson revealed he was feeling 'run down' in the build-up to the clash on the south coast, days after scoring twice in the home victory over Aston Villa. The 30-year-old suffered with illness during the week, and it was 'touch and go' as to whether he would start against the Saints.
The striker played his part in Miguel Almiron's goal which opened the scoring, but did not emerge for the second-half with Wood scoring the second shortly after the restart. Eddie Howe confirmed Wilson would be assessed ahead of Wednesday night's Carabao Cup clash with Crystal Palace, and the former Bournemouth star has discussed how he struggled during the televised encounter.
