Newcastle striker Callum Wilson says he wrote 'pack for Qatar' in his diary four months before he was selected for Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad.
Wilson, who has struggled with injury setbacks in recent years, has netted six Premier League goals this season.
"I was going through my diary the other day and I hadn't used it for a few months and I had actually written on Sunday's date 'pack for Qatar'.
"I just believe in the power of visualisation and those positive affirmations. A few weeks ago, people were asking me where I was going in the winter break and I said Qatar.
