Eddie Howe has outlined Allan Saint-Maximin's role for the second half of the season.
The Frenchman has not started a Premier League match since August and accepted he was no longer an automatic choice in a candid interview back in December. But with injuries in midfield and Eddie Howe looking at dropping back Joelinton into the engine room, the ex-Nice man could benefit.
Howe said today: "It’s going to be huge for him personally, and huge for us that we get him in the best possible place to play. Physically, I think he’s in a good place now, probably the best he’s been since his injury.
