Callum Wilson says he was burning inside to go back to Bournemouth with Newcastle United but was not ready to risk his body after feeling some tightness. The Magpies No 9 has had plenty of injury problems during his time at St James' Park and was left out of the squad to face his former side.
Eddie Howe's men had to come from behind to rescue a point, with Miguel Almiron cancelling out Marcos Senesi's first-half opener, with the Newcastle head coach receiving a rapturous applause at full-time. Wilson scored scored 67 times in 187 games for the Cherries and had been tipped for a similar warm welcome but he had a slight concern with his hamstring.
Speaking to the Footballer's Football Podcast, Wilson said: "I was burning inside to go back there, to a club that has been so good to me. But then in training I felt some tightness.
