Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says he took Allan Saint-Maximin off with an injury at the City Ground. The Frenchman was hooked after a below par first half and replaced by Elliot Anderson but Howe later revealed he has an injury issue. Like the rest of his team-mates he will get the chance to rest up in Dubai between training sessions.
But Howe said last night: “Allan wasn’t quite right today, physically, I didn’t think. He’s been carrying a tight hamstring.
"I don’t think it’s a pull, it’s just a little bit of tightness. For me, it was obvious during that first half that he probably wouldn’t be able to carry on."
