Saint-Maximin is back on Tyneside after a period recuperating from Covid-19 with his family in France – and Steve Bruce is waiting for the club’s medical staff to clear him to return to training.

A fan this week tweeted a photograph of the 23-year-old in a supermarket, and Bruce, asked about Saint-Maximin’s quarantine period, suggested that the winger had to stay inside for just five days following his return to the country.
