Callum Wilson is unlikely to be included in England's World Cup squad unless Gareth Southgate has a 'few injuries' to contend with. That is the view of Tim Sherwood, who insists the priority for the Newcastle United striker has to be staying fit himself.
Wilson has finished as the Magpies' top scorer in the last two seasons, despite being plagued by injuries since his move from Bournemouth. The number nine is already off the mark for the new campaign after netting in the comfortable opening-day win over Nottingham Forest.
Wilson has not hidden his ambition of earning a Three Lions recall in recent years, having last appeared for his country in October 2019. The 30-year-old repeated this desire in his post-match interview on Saturday, outlining his aim to earn a callup for the winter World Cup.
