Allan Saint-Maximin has confirmed that he is 'back' after the Newcastle United star received treatment in Monaco for a calf injury.
The Frenchman picked up the injury in the win against Aston Villa last month and ultimately missed the games at West Ham and Brentford as a result. The club gave Saint-Maximin permission to travel to the Principality for intensive treatment because the forward already has an outstanding relationship with physio Alexandre Baccili.
Newcastle have been keen to give players the opportunity to go abroad to receive specialised treatment - Callum Wilson and Isaac Hayden have also done so of late - that just would not be possible at the club so that they can get back playing as soon as possible. Saint-Maximin has certainly benefited and Howe revealed his talisman was in a 'very good place mentally' and 'very eager to return' last week.
