Some concerning news has emerged from the England camp today, as Sky Sports have revealed some ‘breaking news’ on Callum Wilson’s fitness.
They report that the Newcastle United striker has been forced to sit out of England’s training session in Qatar today due to a muscle strain.
Rob Dorsett – a senior reporter at Sky Sports News – has been told that it’s thought to be a ‘minor’ injury, however it is a real worry to hear that our number nine has suffered another muscle problem.
