Saint-Maximin falls out with Newcastle boss Bruce

Allan Saint-Maximin has fallen out with Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce.

The Daily Mail says Saint-Maximin's future at Newcastle is in doubt after Bruce dropped him for Saturday's goalless draw with Burnley, then claimed the winger was struggling with a hamstring injury.

Sources insist the 22-year-old is fully fit and available for selection, even though manager Bruce said on Monday he was a doubt for tonight's FA Cup tie at West Bromwich because of back and hamstring issues. There have been concerns about the Frenchman's recent performances in training and Bruce decided he wanted to field a team he could rely on against Burnley.

Wolves and Crystal Palace are monitoring developments after learning of the situation.
