The real reason why Callum Wilson took so long to return from injury

Newcastle United finally have Callum Wilson back from injury.

For the first time this season, Eddie Howe was able to include Newcastle United’s number nine in his squad on Monday night, as the Magpies took on West Ham at St James’ Park.

Unfortunately, Callum Wilson’s return did not fully go to plan, as Newcastle lost 2-0 to the Hammers.

It was a disappointing night on Tyneside, with the returns of Wilson and Kieran Trippier the only real positives. It was particularly good to see Wilson complete his comeback, having been out of action since the start of pre-season.

At the start of the season, Eddie Howe said Wilson would only miss the first few games. That was when he was recovering from a back injury.

The 32-year-old then suffered a hamstring problem which delayed his comeback.

However, it ended up being delayed longer than fans had hoped, as Newcastle United supporters grew more and more frustrated over Wilson’s lack of availability.

Now iNews have provided an update on Wilson’s fitness, detailing why it took longer than anticipated for him to return to action.

According to iNews, Newcastle United opted not to rush Wilson back in fear of him suffering another injury.

They add that Wilson has been working on various things to avoid more fitness issues, such as his sleep and nutrition.

While fans were frustrated during Wilson’s layoff, the feeling was mutual for the England international.

No player wants to be injured, and it will be especially frustrating for a player like Wilson who has endured so many fitness problems.
