Callum Wilson played for Newcastle United for the first time in six months as he came off the bench in Monday night’s 2-0 defeat to West Ham United.
Wilson, who has started just two matches for Newcastle in 2024, has been suffering with back and hamstring issues since pre-season. On Monday night, he played the final 22 minutes but was unable to help Newcastle turn things around.
Although he only had four touches during his time on the pitch, Wilson won back possession from Lucas Paqueta and had a strong penalty shout turned down. But for the striker, it was important to get back on the pitch as he vowed to turn his injury ‘trauma into triumph’.
