Allan Saint-Maximin has sent another message to his critics as the Newcastle United talisman looks to silence his doubters after the international break.
Saint-Maximin has played just 94 minutes of football in recent weeks after being sidelined by injury and illness. Saint-Maximin suffered a calf injury in the win against Aston Villa last month and, following a period of intensive treatment in Monaco, the Frenchman returned to action as a substitute in the win against Brighton 20 days later.
However, Saint-Maximin then missed the win at Southampton with a bout of sickness and the mercurial forward has not looked himself during recent cameos against Chelsea and Everton after only having a couple of training sessions with his team-mates. Although Saint-Maximin drew the sliding challenge which led to Allan being controversially sent off at Goodison Park last time out, the 25-year-old was later criticised on social media for his work off the ball and for being dispossessed in the build-up to Alex Iwobi's winner for Everton.
