Michail Antonio has joked Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson is pleased to see his team-mate Chris Wood struggling for goals while the team keeps winning. Wood has yet to get off the mark for the Magpies since joining from Burnley in a deal worth around £25 million.
Eddie Howe was desperate to recruit a striker in the January window after Wilson suffered a very serious calf injury in the December draw with Manchester United. It is, as of yet, unclear when Wilson will return for Newcastle meaning Wood is set to be handed an extended stay in the starting XI.
In the latest episode of the Footballers Football Podcast, Wilson claimed that he is desperate for Wood to get in amongst the goals soon in order to help the team. His co-host Antonio, though, was having none of that, as he joked that Wilson would secretly prefer to see Wood continue fail in front of goal as long as Newcastle keep winning.
