Saint-Maximin has been sidelined since the April 5 win over West Ham United with a hamstring problem. The winger visited France for treatment, but returned to Tyneside this week ahead of tomorrow night’s game against Everton.
The 26-year-old got to work at the club’s Benton training ground on Monday ahead of the Premier League fixture, but he will not be involved, according to Howe.

Saint-Maximin had hit form before succumbing to injury. Speaking earlier this month, Howe said: “He was in a really good run of form before this injury, which is a real shame for him – and us. But he’s got to deal with it, he’s got to get right, and get his rhythm back quickly.”
