Newcastle United fans across the globe may soon get their wish with Allan Saint-Maximin seemingly set to return for this weekend's clash with Brentford. The Frenchman has been sidelined with a hamstring problem since the 1-1 draw with Wolves despite being close to making the last two matchday squads in the Premier League.
Chronicle Live understands Saint-Maximin is back in training and may be finally ready to return as Newcastle look for some much-needed creativity at St James' Park. The winger's agency, KSM Sports, teased his return earlier this week, posting a short video of the Saint-Maximin in action with the caption: "The comeback is imminent."
Eddie Howe is certainly ready to welcome the attacker back into the fold after recent draws with Crystal Palace and Bournemouth highlighted how much the Magpies miss his creativity.
