Newcastle United ace Allan Saint-Maximin is upbeat on his current injury recovery.

The Frenchman has missed the Magpies last three Premier League fixtures with a hamstring injury.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said it was "unclear" when the winger would return, despite a two-week international break. Speaking after the draw with Bournemouth, Howe said: “There's a massive hole for someone like Maxi in a game like this when you need a little magic to unlock the door."

However, Saint-Maximin has shared an encouraging video running on the treadmillg. The 25-year-old posted a video of a 10.85km run in the impressive time of 27.44 minutes.
