Eddie Howe has admitted Callum Wilson's return is a 'huge boost' for Newcastle United - even if there is no 'magic formula' to keep the number nine fit.
Wilson will make his first appearance for Newcastle since August when the Magpies travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham on Saturday. Wilson has been back training for around 10 days now after recovering from a hamstring issue and the striker's return is a timely boost for Newcastle, particularly with record signing Alexander Isak suffering his own injury setback on international duty with Sweden.
Although Isak has led the line in Wilson's absence, scoring two goals in three games, Newcastle have certainly missed the man who finished up as the club's top scorer in each of the previous two campaigns. Not only have the Magpies picked up just three points from a possible 12 without Wilson; Eddie Howe's side have only scored three goals in that same period in the Premier League.
