Video: A peek behind the curtain as Callum Wilson provides hint as to reasons for lengthy injuries

Callum Wilson is one of the most prolific strikers to pull on the famous black and white shirt of Newcastle United but his career on Tyneside has been hampered by injuries.

We love Callum Wilson for what he's done on the pitch at Newcastle, and on his day, there aren't many more lethal finishers in the Premier League.

It was fantastic to see our number nine on the pitch on Sunday for a brief cameo at the end of the game.

Wilson was brought on to hold up play and to try and shield the ball in the corner to ensure the Magpies kept possession and he, along with his teammates executed that brilliantly.

Callum Wilson may be offered a Newcastle United lifeline after Sunday's Carabao Cup victory

There's a very strong chance that Wilson will leave Newcastle this summer given his age and problems with injuries, but now that the Magpies are guaranteed to be in Europe next season, he could be offered a lifeline, especially if Eddie Howe gets his way.

We've said a few times that we've got no problem hanging on to Wilson if he can remain injury-free for the rest of this season, and as long as Newcastle still recruit another striker this summer.

However, we almost got to see first-hand why Callum Wilson has played so few games lately. The man can't even walk down the stairs properly.

We almost got to see Callum Wilson picking up his latest injury

Newcastle United posted a video of the team disembarking their jet with their winner's medals and as Callum Wilson descends the steps you see the striker slip and almost lose his balance.

It would have been peak Wilson if he got injured in such a lame way after fighting all season to get back to full fitness.

Thankfully, he looked fine as he laughed it off. Watch your step, Callum, lad!
