Callum Wilson ruled out of Newcastle's pre-season clash at Burton Albion adding to Saint-Maximin woe

Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson was missing with a slight knock for the Magpies' penultimate friendly of the summer against Burton Albion.

Wilson's injury is not serious and is merely a precaution with the striker set to be back soon.

Allan Saint-Maximin's illness also means he missed out against the Brewers.
