Newcastle boss Eddie Howe will make a late decision on World Cup-bound England striker Callum Wilson ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea.
The 30-year-old has been training away from the group this week after being laid low by illness and will be assessed before Howe names his team.
