Newcastle striker Wilson 'disappointed' by England snub

Newcastle United ace Callum Wilson has revealed his disappointment at not making the England squad this month.

Wilson was not a part of Gareth Southgate's plans for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against Ukraine and Italy.

The Three Lions won both games, with Ivan Toney earning a callup instead of Wilson.

Speaking to the Footballer's Football Podcast, Wilson said: "Obviously I was disappointed.

“Any opportunity to represent your country, I'd always try and grasp that with both hands but unfortunately I didn't get that call.

"The team was going to Dubai and I managed to then use the time wisely. A bit of rest and rehabilitation.

“I feel recharged and re energised so when the next camp comes around, I'll be much better suited to take a place in the squad."
