Newcastle United star Callum Wilson misses England training due to minor injury setback

Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson was forced to sit out of England training on Monday morning after picking up a minor knock in Qatar. The striker was absent as a select group of the Three Lions' squad took part in a short session following Sunday's 3-0 win over Senegal.

Players who featured in the last-16 win were given the morning off, while those not involved were put through their paces by England boss Gareth Southgate and his coaching staff. Wilson 's absence is said to be a precautionary measure.

The Magpies forward 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.
