Pointers as to availability for this Fulham match and beyond.

Callum Wilson has been taking part in some parts of first team training this week and whilst he won’t be in the matchday squad against Fulham, Eddie Howe saying a chance he could be involved for Arsenal on Wednesday and beyond.

The NUFC Head Coach adding that Harvey Barnes is a bit behind Wilson, maybe two or three weeks more before we see him available again.

Miguel Almiron of course having left on Thursday, however, Eddie Howe indicating that Martin Dubravka is not set to leave in this transfer window, whilst Will Osula won’t be going out on loan and is set to stay with the NUFC first team squad for the rest of the season.

Eddie Howe on Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson:

“Callum is getting there, we have seen him in training this week.

“He’s not been involved in all of the session but part of it, there is no plan to involve him this week but chance for games coming up after.

“Harvey is a little behind, he is maybe two to three weeks away.”

So it looks like, only Harvey Barnes, Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson (and Miguel Almiron!) set to be missing for sure against Fulham.
