Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson has taken to social media to update everyone after pulling out of the latest England squad with an injury.

Wilson had been playing regularly for Newcastle since the injury of Alexander Isak, but it looks like it was just one game too many against Dortmund after he was forced off at half-time with a hamstring injury.

This leaves Newcastle without a recognised striker, so it is very likely that they continue to use Anthony Gordon in that role where he excelled for England in the Under-21 Euros tournament in the summer.

The striker looks to be in a positive mood and is hoping to be back out on the pitch soon, but it will be good for him to get a two-week long rest in during the international break.

On social media, Wilson said: "Unfortunately, a recent setback has meant I had to withdraw from the squad that I'd worked so hard to be a part of.

"Strong walls shake but never collapse, so for sure I'll be back soon

Wilson's injury record for Newcastle was improving Though plagued with injury problems throughout his career, Wilson had actually enjoyed a long spell in the Newcastle team prior to this knock. The rotation between him and Isak has been hugely beneficial to the attacker's fitness.

As soon as Isak picked up that injury against Dortmund, everyone knew it was going to be a tough ask to get Wilson through two games every week where he is having to play for most of the 90 minutes.

It's a huge shame for both forwards who were enjoying a very successful start to the campaign and had proven to be two of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League.

Newcastle can now only hope that the attacking duo return from injury in time for some key games coming up domestically and in the Champions League, though they will not want to rush Wilson back too soon and risk aggravating the hamstring.
