Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe believes Callum Wilson has benefitted from the club's warm weather training camp in Dubai after a tough start to 2023. The Magpies striker has lost his place to attacking rival Alexander Isak in recent weeks as he fights for his short-term future in Howe's starting XI.
Wilson hasn't looked the same player since returning from the winter World Cup in Qatar, looking a shadow of his usual, goalscoring self in a black and white shirt of late. The former Bournemouth man has missed periods of training in recent months but Howe insists Newcastle's No 9 has performed well during the international break.
“I’ve seen Callum really use the break wisely. He rested initially and then trained and he’s trained really hard and looked really good," Howe said on Friday.
