Allan Saint-Maximin took to Instagram this week to reveal he is 'BACK'. After a spell on the sidelines courtesy of a hamstring injury, the Frenchman is now pushing to be involved between now and the end of this historic Newcastle United campaign.
Asked whether Maxi would return before the end of the season, Eddie Howe last week admitted: “I certainly hope he’ll be fit, but with hamstring injuries there’s always that element of doubt."
Saint-Maximin was Newcastle's main man in years gone by. So often the player they could turn to when times were hard, the winger is walking back into a crowded marketplace with no certainty over reclaiming a starting role that was once a certainty.
