Callum Wilson has declared himself fit to play when Newcastle United face Fulham on Saturday but Aleksandar Mitrovic may be nursing a slight knock as he reunites with his former club. Wilson wasn't included in Gareth Southgate's latest England squad after spending recent weeks on the sidelines but now claims to be ready for an eagerly-anticipated first-team return in the capital this weekend.
“We have Fulham on Saturday, which is away – looking forward to that one,” Wilson told The Footballer’s Football Podcast. “I’ve worked hard to get to a point where I’m available for selection. I’ll be working hard this week in training, and then we’ll see where we are at.”
Mitrovic featured in both of Serbia's games over the international break as his country earned Nations League promotion following wins over Sweden and Norway. However, the Fulham hitman was spotted sporting a bandage around his foot as he left the stadium following Tuesday's win.
