Newcastle United journalist Dominic Scurr has noticed something major involving both Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier.

The Lowdown: Injury setbacks

Unfortunately for the Magpies, both players continue to suffer from injury setbacks.

The striker has been struggling with a calf injury since January, while the right-back suffered a metatarsal fracture in February.

The Latest: Dubai trip

As per The Shields Gazette journalist Scurr, Wilson and Trippier have joined the squad for their trip to Dubai, suggesting that they will now train with their team-mates in the hope of stepping up their respective recoveries.

Taking to Twitter, the reporter said that it was 'good to see'.

The Verdict: Big boost for Newcastle

The fact that Wilson and Trippier have joined up with the rest of the squad is a big boost for Eddie Howe and Newcastle.

They are two hugely important players to the team, with the ex-Spurs defender currently ranking as their best player in the Premier League according to WhoScored, while the former Bournemouth striker remains their top scorer in all competitions this season despite being out injured for a couple of months.

Nonetheless, the trip to Dubai could really help aid to aid their recovery, and Howe will no doubt want to have both plauers available for the latter end of the campaign, especially if Newcastle find themselves in need of points to stay up.
