Impact Wilson has struggled with ongoing injuries for years, and he's being supremely cautious with his return from this back issue. The striker may have a limited role even when he returns, as Alexander Isak is clearly the top striker. Anthony Gordon has also deputized up top when Isak is injured.

Impact Wilson is set to miss the next three matches after suffering a setback in his recovery. It's a brutal turn for the striker, who just can't seem to get fit. He will hope to return after the November international break, though as always with Wilson it's tough to trust his fitness.

Suffers fitness setback Wilson (back) has suffered a setback in his recovery process and his return to action will be delayed until further notice, Craig Hope of The Daily Mail reports.

Impact Wilson has yet to play in 2024/25 due to a nagging back problem, and while his return was coming closer in recent weeks, it seems the veteran striker will have to keep waiting to make a long-awaited return. The latest setback is expected to keep Wilson sidelined for a few weeks in a best-case scenario.

Impact Wilson has struggled with injuries over the last season, and now as he nears a return Newcastle is being careful to get him fully fit. The striker would be a bench option even when fully fit, as Alexander Isak (toe) is in contention as well. Wilson has yet to appear in the Premier League.

Eyeing Brighton return Wilson (back) is eyeing a return against Brighton on Oct. 19, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live. "We'll be delighted to get them back if we can. Ther...

Impact Wilson could be making his first appearance in six months following the international break, as the forward is looking to return against Brighton. However, this is not yet confirmed, likely coming down to a late fitness test. Either way, this is positive news, as he should be likely to return before the start of November.

Out until international break Wilson (back) won't be an option before the international break in October, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Callum won't make the (Fulham) game. We're looking with Callum to be t...

Impact Wilson has been out for more than a month with a back injury and continues to work on his recovery. The forward is a nice depth option when fit, but injuries have left him sidelined more often than not. Alexander Isak remains the top choice striker, with Anthony Gordon now the back up there while Wilson recovers.

Impact Wilson was already reported to miss the first couple of games of the season with a back issue. However, that timeline has been extended, as he will not return Saturday against Tottenham and will be out until after the break, with his next chance to return being against Wolves on Sept. 15. This continues to be something to monitor for the club as despite not being a starter, he is their next best option at forward in case Alexander Isak goes down. He will keep pushing for a return, looking to be fit as soon as possible, especially after missing out on 20 matches last season.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Out multiple matches Wilson (back) will miss the opening games of the Premier League season, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Callum will miss the first few games of the season."

Impact Wilson is set to miss multiple matches as he continues to deal with a back injury. With Alexander Isak fully fit and available that should be less of a blow for Newcastle. Wilson will hope to return before the first international break, though it seems more likely he will be given the extra two weeks to recover.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Recovery going well Wilson (back) is recovering "really well" according to manager Eddie Howe following back surgery. He is still expected to return at some point in September, reports Miles Starforth...

Impact Wilson underwent back surgery earlier in the month as his is now set to begin the recovery process. The procedure was only minor, therefore the forward should only miss about one month of action, at minimum. He only appeared in 20 appearances in 2023/24, starting just nine times while scoring nine goals with one assist.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Back procedure successful Wilson has completed his back procedure but is expected to miss the first couple weeks of the season, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Jordan Cronin of Newcastle World. "Callum...

Impact Wilson has completed the operation on his back, with the striker receiving an injection to relieve pain in his back. However, he will now miss the first few games of the season, likely returning sometime in September. This continues to build up his injury problems from the last couple of seasons, having missed 25 games last campaign. Luckily for the club, Alexander Isak is expected to be their starter up top, so Wilson's absence shouldn't be a major issue, although they will want him back as quickly as possible for a depth option.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes back procedure Wilson underwent a back procedure and is in doubt for the start of the season, according to Ciaran Kelly of Chronicle Live.

Impact Wilson felt some discomfort, forcing him to meet with a specialist before eventually undergoing an operation on his back to deal with the issues. This leaves the forward with a tight window to return before the start of the season, with that only a month away. It currently appears that would be too soon for him, likely sitting out the first couple of games of the campaign.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Solid season as backup Wilson scored nine goals and recorded one assist in 20 appearances (nine starts) this past season.

Impact Wilson spent nearly half of the season injured and another major portion backing up Alexander Isak, but still found his way into scoring nine goals, seven of which came in his first nine appearances of the season. He has now scored at least eight goals in each of his last seven Premier League seasons. The 32-year-old has just one year remaining on his contract so he could see a move away from Newcastle given the club need to bring in transfer profit and Wilson may want a more consistent starting role.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option Sunday Wilson (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Brentford.

Impact Wilson missed a pair of matches due to the hamstring injury, but manager Eddie Howe was optimistic of his return throughout the week. As expected Wilson is back on the bench for Sunday's clash, though he wasn't deemed fit enough to start alongside Alexander Isak, instead it's Harvey Barnes who joins the attack.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play finale Wilson (hamstring) is expected to play during Sunday's trip to Brentford, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We anticipate he (Wilson) will be fit for Sunday."

Impact Wilson missed out midweek due to a hamstring issue but he's set to return Sunday. The forward has struggled with injuries but when on the pitch he's been a solid option alongside Alexander Isak in the attack. Wilson scored twice in two matches prior to this injury.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Wilson (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Wilson will have to wait yet another match for his return, as he now misses a second straight game due to hamstring complications. He will now hope to be fit for the season finale on Sunday, although he will likely only end up on the bench if healthy.

MAY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely for Wednesday Wilson (hamstring) seems to be in doubt for Wednesday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We haven't seen Callum yet. We will see if he is availabl...

Impact Wilson missed out over the weekend due to a knock but appears to still be dealing with the issue, as he has yet to train and is now in question to play Wednesday. However, if he sees a return to training Tuesday, that could secure his availability. That being said, even if he is fit enough to earn a spot on the team sheet, he will likely start on the bench, hopefully getting time near the end of the contest.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Out with knock Wilson is not in the squad to face Brighton on Saturday due to a knock.

Impact Wilson is dealing with a tight hamstring and the team has decided to not risk further injury with the forward not feeling 100%. Wilson will hope to return in mid week against Manchester United.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in win Wilson scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Burnley. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 18th minute.

Impact Wilson notched his ninth goal of the season as he opened up the scoring in the 19th minute of the match. The striker made his first appearance in the starting XI since returning from his pectoral issue. He has now scored in consecutive games.

Super substitute appearance Wilson scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 5-1 win over Sheffield United.

Impact Wilson came off the bench for the final 24 minutes of play Saturday during Newcastle United's 5-1 victory over Sheffield United. Wilson's goal broke a massive goal drought, dating back to the end of Oct. 2023. Since his last goal, Wilson had played just 11 matches and missed 16 matches due to injury. Wilson, when healthy, has proven to be influential in the Newcastle attack as evidenced by his 18 league goals during the 2022-2023 campaign.

Impact Wilson's main goal Wednesday was just avoiding a new injury issue and he did just that. While he might not be the preferred option he should still see chances off the bench and perhaps alongside Alexander Isak in the closing matches of the Premier League.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Wilson (pectoral) is on the bench for Wednesday's trip to Crystal Palace.

Impact Wilson is back on the bench Wednesday, after returning to training earlier in the week. Alexander Isak remains in the starting XI, and is likely the preferred option in the first team while he remains fit. Wilson could see occasional starts and chances off the bench to close the Premier League.

Nearing a return Wilson (pectoral) is almost ready to take the field again, as manager Eddie Howe told reporters, "Callum has trained really well this week. It's been really good to have him back (...

Impact Wilson could be back on the field anytime now, as he has trained with the team over the past week, leaving him in a great spot to feature against Crystal Palace on Wednesday or Sheffield on Saturday. However, it seems more likely for the forward not to be tested until the weekend, still being given a little more time to recover, not trying to push him out there too quickly. Either way, the club will just be happy to gain back one of their goal-scorers to end the season, as he has not played in eight matches due to his pectoral issues.

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full training Wilson (pectoral) was spotted in full training for the first time since his surgery on Wednesday.

Impact Wilson looks to be nearing a return in the coming week or two, as he began to train with the team after two months out due to pectoral surgery. This is huge news for the club as they enter the final games of the season, gaining back one of the many players they have on the sidelines due to injury. The forward will hope to be back out on the field by the end of the month, although it is up in the air what position he will hold once healthy, as fellow striker Alexander Isak has been in great form recently.
