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 in a crucial match at St James’ Park this afternoon (2pm kick-off) - here is some early team news.

The match is set to be crucial in the battle for Champions League qualification with Newcastle sitting three points ahead of Spurs in the Premier League table ahead of the match. The Magpies currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League spot with a game in hand on their opponents.

Eddie Howe’s side will be without Allan Saint-Maximin for the match as the winger continues to recover from a hamstring issue. The Newcastle boss claimed there were no other injury concerns heading into the game though Emil Krafth remains out with an ACL issue.

But Spurs have several injury and suspension issues themselves with a number of players unavailable for today’s match. Clement Lenglet is a doubt for the match after picking up a foot injury in Spurs’ 3-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth last weekend. A late call will be made on the defender.
