Journalist Pete O'Rourke has now dropped some Newcastle United injury news involving Callum Wilson.

The Lowdown: Injury worries

After Fabian Schar was forced to withdraw from the Switzerland squad for their upcoming friendlies against England and Kosovo due to an adductor problem, the injuries seem to be piling up for Eddie Howe and his team.

Aside from Wilson, Kieran Trippier has also found himself sidelined, but it looks as if he is now stepping up his recovery, while Isaac Hayden is out long-term and Martin Dubravka is reportedly suffering from angina.

The Latest: O'Rourke on Wilson

Speaking to The Transfer Tavern, O'Rourke has now given an update on Wilson's fitness after he joined his teammates in Dubai, claiming that he is 'making good progress':

“He's gone away with him on this trip to Dubai just to work on his fitness as well.

"He's been out since December with his injury but making good progress.”

The Verdict: Big boost

Of course, the fact that Wilson is making good progress is a big boost for the St. James' Park faithful.

It was expected that he would not return until the end of April, but now it looks as if he could come back much sooner.

Wilson still remains the North East club's top scorer in all competitions so far this season, despite being out injured since January, and he is more than capable of providing the goals that could guarantee their safety.

Nonetheless, should he, Trippier and Schar all return within the next couple of weeks, it should give everyone on Tyneside a huge lift.
