Eddie Howe has revealed that Callum Wilson paid for some of his own treatment in a bid to overcome his injury issues, before suffering another setback this week.
Mail Sport broke the news on Wednesday that the striker is facing two months on the sidelines after injuring his hamstring during Newcastle’s 4-2 defeat at Brentford last weekend.
Wilson was just four substitute appearances into his comeback after four months out with a combination of back and hamstring complaints.
In that time, he travelled to the likes of the Aspire Academy in Doha to receive specialist treatment, and there was hope that what the player has called ‘an emotional rollercoaster’ was finally behind him.
