England forward Callum Wilson is reportedly under serious consideration to make Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad, after it emerged the FA have been speaking to Newcastle's medical department about how to manage his workload.
Wilson has started the season in blistering form, scoring six goals in league games, including a brace against Aston Villa on Saturday to help Newcastle move into the top four.
However, he has battled with fitness issues in recent years which have limited his international opportunities. Wilson missed four games earlier this term with a hamstring problem - an issue that has caused him to miss significant periods of the last couple of seasons at St James' Park.
