Saint-Maximin has been in France recuperating from a hamstring injury and it’s hoped that may be back to make his return to the squad against Tottenham Hotspur next weekend. Speaking about the Frenchman, Howe said: “This has come as a surprise to him and for us, the number of just very minor injuries that he’s had to his hamstrings. He’s had them on both sides, so it’s not a concern for us, because I think he can get over them quite quickly.”Saint-Maximin has been in France recuperating from a hamstring injury and it’s hoped that may be back to make his return to the squad against Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.

Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in what is shaping up to be a crucial match in the battle for Champions League qualification (2pm kick-off).

Newcastle currently sit four in the Premier League table, three points ahead of Spurs in fifth with a game in hand. The match at St James’ Park could see The Magpies move further clear of their opponents with a victory heading into the final run of matches this season while a win for Tottenham would see them move level on points with Eddie Howe’s side.

Both United and Spurs will be dusting themselves off after surprise defeats over the weekend. Newcastle suffered their heaviest loss of the season as Aston Villa claimed a 3-0 win while Tottenham suffered a late 3-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Spurs defender Clement Lenglet was forced off during the match due to injury and could miss Sunday’s match at St James’ Park as a result. The Frenchman has been a regular in Tottenham’s back-line this season.

Newcastle’s only major doubt heading into the game is Allan Saint-Maximin, who has missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury.

But Spurs have several issues with a number of players already ruled out.

Here is the current injury list involving both teams ahead of Sunday’s big match...

The winger has been frozen out of the Newcastle first-team and made to train with the club’s under-21s. He is highly unlikely to feature again barring a dramatic U-turn from Eddie Howe.
