Newcastle United have been rocked by the latest injury sustained by Callum Wilson.
The Magpies striker missed the start of the 2024-25 campaign due to a combination of back and hamstring issues.
Wilson battled back to feature in Newcastle’s last four matches from the bench.
However, per the Daily Mail, the 32-year-old has picked another hamstring injury that will likely keep him sidelined for the next two months.
His injury will reportedly not change their January transfer plans, with Alexander Isak still fit and Anthony Gordon also an option.
However, manager Eddie Howe may use the January transfer window to bring in another centr
Newcastle wanted to sign Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the summer, but a deal eventually didn’t materialise.
They could reignite their interest in the 27-year-old, who has been described as ‘unplayable’ by Darren Bent.
Calvert-Lewin’s contract at Goodison Park will run out in June 2025, meaning the next window will be their final chance to cash in on him.
The English footballer has been at Everton since 2016, making 261 appearances in all competitions and scoring 70 goals.
His standout campaign at the Toffees came in 2020-21 when he netted 21 goals in 39 total games.
However, he has been struggling with fitness issues and lack of form in recent years.
This season, Calvert-Lewin has scored only two goals in 14 Premier League appearances.
But some attribute his poor return to Sean Dyche’s style of football and that he could thrive in a different environment.
