Callum Wilson has responded to his latest setback after suffering a fresh hamstring injury.
The Newcastle United striker had started the season in form with two goals in the first few games of the Premier League campaign.
But speaking on his BBC Podcast, Wilson said: “Yeah, I had a little setback. Disappointing because I started the season well. I felt like I had found my form and rhythm.

“It’s only a couple of weeks, but it’s just a couple of weeks that I ain’t got to lose. Especially last year, having the achilles issue, and now the little tweak in my hamstring. It’s frustrating because you do everything right – the ultimate professional.
“There are probably not many people in the dressing room that are more professional than myself – the way I eat, the way I sleep, the way I recover. That’s the most frustrating thing – you’re putting your heart and soul into making sure you stay there.
“A little setback – it’s fine – but I’ve had to put it into perspective. At the start of the season if you said I was going to play 35 games this season, I’d have snapped your hand off.
“Really, I’ve got to look at it like that. Ultimately, throughout the season, players are going to miss a game here or there.
“Few weeks [and] I’ll be back, I just don’t want to rush anything or push anything. I’ll make sure I’ll be back in full working order very, very soon.”
