Eddie Howe was pleased with Allan Saint-Maximin's brief cameo in Newcastle United's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal and hinted there may be more minutes available for the Frenchman in the final games of the season.
Saint-Maximin recently returned to Tyneside after recovering from a hamstring problem in his native France. The 26-year-old only managed 15 minutes at St James' Park on Sunday, replacing Joe Willock as the Magpies chased the game.
Saint-Maximin has a tough challenge ahead as he battles the likes of Joelinton, Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon for a single starting spot on the left flank but Howe seems ready to throw his mercurial wide man back in the fold between now and the end of May after admitting he had to manage his minutes against Arsenal.
