Eddie Howe says that Allan Saint-Maximin remains a doubt for next Saturday's encounter against Aston Villa.
The Newcastle United winger missed out all together in the 2-1 win over Brentford due to a hamstring injury and was told to rest up. Howe does not see it being a long-term problem issue though.
Speaking after the 2-1 win over the Bees, Howe offered an update on the ex-Nice star, saying" “I don’t think it’s serious with Allan. He didn’t feel 100 per cent during the West Ham game, so we decided to scan him.
