Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says he has no qualms about Allan Saint-Maximin's response to being benched against Brighton on Saturday. The winger played 26 minutes of the 2-1 win over Albion after missing a fortnight of action due to a trip to France for treatment.
Saint-Maximin could not mark the occasion with a goal but his return lifted fans and gave Newcastle the chance for him to reduce pressure when running with the ball. It now remains to be seen whether Saint-Maximin returns to the starting line-up on Thursday night at Southampton.
Howe said after the win at St James' Park: "His attitude was fine. We have built up a good relationship in a short period of time.
