Callum Wilson has told Newcastle fans he's working as hard as he can to minimise time on the sidelines with the club embroiled in a relegation battle.
The Magpies number nine has suffered injuries throughout his career, and while his time at St. James' Park has been far from straightforward, Wilson has maintained his goal scoring prowess despite injuries.
He remains a vital part of Newcastle's survival hopes, but when he limped off the field of play during the 1-1 draw with Manchester United, Toon fans were expecting the worst.

While Wilson's exact return date from injury remains unknown, the striker has taken to social media to send fans an update.
Writing on his Instagram, Wilson said: "Apologies to my fans that I’ve not been very active on social media over the past few weeks, I took the time to enjoy Christmas and New Years with loved ones which I hope many of you guys did too.
"Having had time to reflect on 2021 it had some positives yet a lot of negatives with numerous injuries which as a footballer becomes very frustrating but I’m never one to moan as there are many of you out there that have had worse years than me!
"This recent setback has come at such a vital time in our season but I am working as hard as I can to minimise my time on the sidelines!!
"I will be back soon to help the team stay where we belong. CW9"
