Eddie Howe gives Callum Wilson fitness update and talks about Newcastle United philosophy ahead

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe will assess Callum Wilson's chances of starring against Leeds United over the next couple of days.

Wilson was left behind for the Magpies' 3-0 win at Leicester City as the Toon boss took no chances on the striker. New Zealand striker Chris Wood proved to be a capable selection as he smashed home the penalty that got things under way at the King Power Stadium.

When asked about Wilson's chances for Leeds, Howe said: "He hasn’t trained for two days due to illness. "He’s at home with his family. Fingers crossed, he’ll be better soon."
