England boss Gareth Southgate is determined to protect Newcastle striker Callum Wilson. According to The Athletic, the 30-year-old is on a different program from the rest of the squad.

Eddie Howe implemented something similar for his star striker after his latest injury in September. Southgate will take precautions to help ensure Wilson remains fit during this World Cup.

Wilson is one of many England players that didn’t participate in today’s session. Southgate also rested his starting eleven while Leicester City’s James Maddison has yet to train with the squad after suffering a minor knee injury before the break.

Wilson came on for Harry Kane in yesterday’s 6-2 win over Iran. Kane was limping after the match but is reportedly fine today. Callum provided the assist on Jack Grealish’s goal in the 90th minute. Kieran Trippier played the entire match which had 24 minutes of added time.

Next up for England is the United States, who drew 1-1 against Wales in their opener yesterday. The Americans dominated the first half before Wales manager Rob Page tweaked his tactics bringing striker Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore on for Leeds’ Daniel James after the break.

The tactical change resulted in a much better half for Wales, who equalized on a converted penalty from Gareth Bale. United States boss Gregg Berhalter opted against bringing young Dortmund star Gio Reyna on despite the 20-year-old declaring he is 100% fit and ready to go.

Mag52,
If you want to get all philosophical and state we are Geordies, English, British, European, you might as well add we are the world we are the children 😀

Mbappe needs to be wary what with these show boating tricks and back heels. All it takes is for one to take offence and give him a good kick, and his WC could be over in a blink of an eye. All because he likes to take the pee.
Hopefully we see Kuol and whether he can showcase his talent against a very top team.

Danny Murphy comment when Kuol mentioned re signing for Newcastle ” Scouts all over the world these days” ….
As if we have an advantage over other clubs just having scouts – we had scouts under AshLIE but they weren’t allowed mobile phones !

Hard to see Kuol and his ability given he’s only been given 10 mins or so. When he plays a half or 30 mins or so, then we will see more of the youngster. A proud moment for him to be called up and around the national squad. Good luck to him and all nufc players during this WC.

I must say Oliver Giroud has always been a great professional footballer for all the clubs he has played for and France.

If we get Champions League this season we should definitely be looking to sign Theo Hernandez as our new LB. Wand of a left foot

Hard to judge Kuol in a game like this – he is making some good runs but not being found by his teammates.
I thought for a work permit you had to be an International player so surely playing for Australia in a World Cup game must qualify or do you have to play a certain number of games?

Kuol just wants to go at people….you can see when the opportunity of a half decent pass comes, that and the space he takes up.

17 February, 2023

I have an update on what's happening with my treatment for prostate cancer.

Last week, my oncologist called me late in the day and said he thought it was best to terminate my treatment with radium 223 dichloride because it was having such a negative effect on my health - specifically my digestive system.

I had completed 3 of the planned 6 infusions.

They had looked at the bone scans and three CAT scans I had early last week, and they showed no signs of the cancer spread being slowed or stopped: in fact, it was continuing to spread and my PSA account continued to rise.

The only treatment left now is to go back and have another bout of chemotherapy with docetaxel being the medication used.

I understand this will be a 7-month job with 10 sessions 3 weeks apart - almost double my first chemo treatment in Apil 2017, when I has 6 treatmnts.

The problem I have is that I'm in a very poor physical state right now, due to my digestive system being basically torn apart by the radium 223.

The radium 223 has leaked into my digestive system and caused me to have severe diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn, and it was (is) very serious.

They said it was too dangerous to proceed with the radium 223 treatment, with little benefit being shown.

I am also suffering from severe exhaustion, basically, because I have zero testosterone, and all the treatments I've had for the cancer, have further lessened the energy available to me.

It reminds me of the saying that if cancer doesn’t kill you - the treatment will (laugh).

It will probably take up to 8 weeks to get back to a physical state where I can start chemotherapy, and that's where I am now, but the cancer continues to spread in the bones.

I've also been put in touch with the dietitian from UNC Healthcare, who will help me get back my health - she is very helpful.

So that's where it stands it's been quite a journey over 12 years and I think I've had almost every treatment available.

It has really taken a toll on my body and on my energy, but that's where it stands and obviously, I'll do the best I can in the upcoming months with chemo and hope I can get through it.

It is as it is - and another challenge in life.
