and live on Freeview channel 276
The Newcastle No. 9 sat out two training sessions for England in Qatar this week after suffering from a minor muscle strain. Wilson didn’t feature in England’s 3-0 last-16 win over Senegal as he remained on the bench with his strain understood to be as a result of a training overload.
The 30-year-old striker has featured in two matches for England as a substitute so far this World Cup. Wilson replaced Harry Kane on both occasions as he set up Jack Grealish in England’s 6-2 group stage opener win against Iran before coming on in the 3-0 win over Wales.
