Newcastle star Callum Wilson has warned David Moyes about his possible return against West Ham but the bogeyman remains one of six big doubts.
There are three certainties in life – death, taxes and Newcastle United star Callum Wilson scoring when he plays against West Ham.
The England international has a ridiculous 12 goals in 13 appearances against the Hammers and scored twice in a 5-1 Newcastle win when they visited the London Stadium back in April.
Wilson also scored after just three minutes of a 1-1 draw between Newcastle and West Ham at St James’ Park back in February.
Wilson struggling with hamstring strain which he says cannot be rushed
West Ham welcome Newcastle to town again this Sunday and sit one point and one place above the Magpies in the Premier League table.
They’ll be facing a side very much with their tails up following their superb 4-1 win over PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
West Ham will also have a day less of rest as they play their Europa League game against Freiburg in Germany on Thursday evening.
But as we reported on Hammers News yesterday, Eddie Howe looks set to be without five or six key Newcastle first team stars for the West Ham game.
Newcastle star Callum Wilson warns David Moyes about his possible return against West Ham but bogeyman remains one of six big doubts
One of those is Hammers bogeyman Wilson, who missed Newcastle’s wins over Burnley and PSG.
Wilson has been sidelined by a hamstring strain.
Howe said he hoped to have Wilson back for West Ham but added there was ‘no guarantees’.
Wilson was captured on video training ahead of the PSG game but was not included in the squad.
Now Newcastle star Wilson has warned David Moyes about his possible return against West Ham but the bogeyman remains one of six big doubts.
“Have to keep your dad Moyesie guessing you know”
Speaking on the Footballer’s Football Podcast alongside Michail Antonio, Wilson said Antonio had better “tell his daddy Moyes” that if he sees him at the London Stadium then it’s inevitable he’ll be playing and scoring.
“Hey I might not make it (for the West Ham game),” Wilson admitted.
“You never know, I might be there, might not be there, have to keep your dad Moyesie guessing you know.
“He don’t know if I’m going to walk through the stadium or whether I might not.
“But if he knows if he sees me walking through the tunnel it’s a problem isn’t it. You know you see me enter that stadium, it’s a wrap for you man.”
‘My record speaks for itself’
When Antonio told Wilson West Ham aren’t worried about him, the Magpies striker told them they should be.
“My record speaks for itself so you should be…
“It’s inevitable isn’t it, just like the sun rises in the morning, Wilson scores against West Ham! It’s one of those things, it’s just part of life you know. I back up the talk. I talk the talk and then walk it, walking over West Ham for years young buck!”
Antonio then pointed out Wilson is not walking at the moment but limping instead.
Touching more seriously on his injury, Wilson admitted if he is risked too soon with his current strain he could end up missing 10 games.
Antonio is also a doubt for the game with an adductor injury according to Moyes.
