Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin denies he's injury-prone

Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has dismissed claims he's injury-prone.

Saint-Maximin insists there should be no long-term issues with his hamstring.

However, United will continue to manage his training schedule to ensure the troublesome injury which disrupted his season does not re-occur.

For his part, the winger says fans should not worry about his fitness.

“This injury doesn't happen a lot of times. In my last season in France I played in every game and all the time. I changed league, I've been injured but I keep working to come back and now I played 82 minutes and I feel good," he told BBC Newcastle.
