Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has made it clear he won't accept being on the bench while the Magpies aren't winning.
The Frenchman carved out the only real chance of the Carabao Cup final last weekend against Man United but found himself dropped at the Etihad Stadium against Man City. It appeared that Saint-Maximin had bought into the idea of being an impact substitute in the last half an hour but his appearance on the bench led to an interesting observation from watching football manager Chris Wilder that prompted discussions during the match.
Wilder, summarising for BBC 5 Live, said: "I do wonder if Eddie Howe really fancies Allan Saint-Maximin because I'd imagine he'd be playing, as one of the more important players, in a game as big as this today."
