Callum Wilson is in with an ‘outside chance’ of returning in time for our crucial trip to Brighton later this month.
This is according to The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards, who also reveals that there has been some ‘relief behind the scenes’ that Miguel Almiron will only be missing for a month – with some initially fearing he’d suffered a season ending knee injury.
Back to Wilson, Edwards insists that Steve Bruce is reluctant to rush our top scorer back and aggravate his recovery from a hamstring injury, however it seems he could yet be back in time for our trip to The Amex.
The 29-year-old is said to be making good progress in the gym and revealed in a podcast last week how ‘desperate’ he is to get fit and fire us to safety.
Considering Almiron and Saint-Maximin have already been ruled out of our trip to the South Coast, it would be a huge boost to have Wilson back for a potential relegation six pointer at Brighton.
However, if there’s any risk involved and he’s not 100% ready to return, you’d like to think we’d save him for the remaining 10 games of the season – starting with Spurs at St James’ Park on April 3rd.
Oh….and he also may not. Must be any fake fakeover news to rehash.

Bruce will no doubt rush him back and cause him more harm, the only way we stay up now is if Fulham lose because with the injuries we’ve got there’s no chance we’re picking up substantial points, I’m now thinking thinking that a point away to WBA will be a great result for us

He won’t risk long term injury cos he will be sold to line a pocket and bring a couple of lower division players to get us back up
