Allan Saint-Maximin has lifted the lid on his injury torment after his season came to a grinding halt just as he was getting into the groove with Newcastle United.
A mesmerising performance against Manchester City had the champions on the rack in a 3-3 draw before a thunderbolt of a volley secured a point away to Wolves. But an untimely hamstring injury followed by a setback with a muscle issue has meant Saint-Maximin has only played a small part in a campaign that sees Newcastle challenging for a top-three place.
Saint-Maximin, speaking at the club's warm weather training camp in Riyadh, said: "It’s been a very difficult time for me because you can see I put in a lot of work during pre-season to be able to come back fit and to be the best I can.
