Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe feels that Thursday night's trip to Everton could come to soon for Allan Saint-Maximin.
The Toon winger has not been in action since the emphatic 5-1 win away to West Ham at the London Stadium and has been in France recovering from a hamstring issue. But Howe now has the ex-Nice man back at the training ground and his building back up to a comeback.
Speaking about Saint-Maximin's chances for Everton, Howe - who should have Fabian Schar available despite a hamstring concern - said: "I think Everton will be too early for Maxi. "With Fabian, I don’t know how he is yet. We’ve got a couple of knocks in there."
