Newcastle star Callum Wilson misses England training again just days before France clash

Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson has missed England training once again as he recovers from a minor strain in Qatar. The 30-year-old has been kept away from the main group in recent days as a precautionary measure following the minor setback.

Wilson first missed training on Monday as England players who were not involved in the 3-0 win over Senegal were put through their paces by boss Gareth Southgate and his coaching staff. The Magpies striker continued his rehabilitation inside on Wednesday as the main group worked on the grass in preparation for the quarter-final clash with France on Saturday.

Wilson has only been used twice by Southgate during the tournament so far, coming off the bench in group games with Iran and Wales. Wilson helped himself to an assist in the first clash, with calls for him to start over Harry Kane earlier in the tournament.
