Eddie Howe says he hopes Newcastle striker Callum Wilson will play again this season after months out after sustaining a calf and Achilles injury in December against Manchester United

Newcastle United are hopeful of Callum Wilson playing again this season, manager Eddie Howe has said.

Wilson, who sustained a calf and Achilles injury back in December in the Magpies 1-1 draw with Manchester United, has returned to light training and running on grass but he is still someway short of full match fitness.

Speaking ahead of Newcastle's Sunday trip to Tottenham Hotspur, Howe said that the forward is making good progress in his bid to return before the end of the campaign.
