‘Save us’, ‘You’re our only hope’ – Some NUFC fans react to 29-yr-old’s social media post – originally posted on Sportslens.com

Newcastle United could be set for a major injury boost with striker Callum Wilson hoping to return to action soon.

The 29-year old suffered a hamstring injury against Southampton last month and the Magpies have struggled to score goals without him.

The former Bournemouth striker joined Newcastle at the start of the season and he has established himself as a key player for Steve Bruce. Wilson has 10 goals to his name so far this season and he will be crucial to the Magpies’ survival hopes.

The striker was initially expected to be ruled out for a couple of months but it seems but he could be back sooner. Wilson has already returned to the training pitch last week and he is working separately on his rehabilitation with coach Cristian Fernandez as per the Chronicle.

The Newcastle United fans will be hoping to have him back into the side as soon as possible. The Magpies are currently just two points above the relegation zone and they will have to turn their form around quickly if they want to survive the drop.

Meanwhile, Wilson sent out a message to the fans on Twitter yesterday. His seven-word post read:
