Callum Wilson is a doubt for Newcastle\u2019s trip to Bournemouth and England\u2019s forthcoming fixtures, putting Arsenal\u2019s Eddie Nketiah on standby for a recall.<\/p>\n
The striker will undergo tests on a tight hamstring on Friday and there is a feeling Newcastle would prefer their player to rest during the international break, especially given their current injury troubles. Fellow frontman Alexander Isak is still absent with a groin problem.<\/p>\n
Should Wilson miss Saturday\u2019s game at Bournemouth – or be fit enough only for the bench – then Anthony Gordon would likely deputise at centre-forward, and he is also a player on Gareth Southgate\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n
\u2018Callum had a tight hamstring,\u2019 said Howe, explaining why he was withdrawn at half-time during Tuesday\u2019s 2-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019re doing various tests. He was called up by England, so we\u2019re waiting to see if he\u2019ll be fit for this game and then make a decision (on international duty) later.\u2019<\/p>\n

Howe added: \u2018We\u2019re going to see how he is this morning (Friday). Gareth, England and ourselves will be in constant communication anyway, as we are with all our international players, to make sure their welfare is thought about at all times.\u2019<\/p>\n
Dominic Calvert-Lewin would be another option for Southgate, whose side face Malta at Wembley next Friday before a trip to North Macedonia on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They need one win to guarantee finishing top of their group and securing top seed for Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
