Newcastle United’s recent run of good form has taken a hit with the news of Allan Saint-Maximin’s hamstring injury. The Magpies, who have been performing impressively in the Premier League, find themselves in third place on goal difference after leapfrogging Manchester United.
Eddie Howe’s side secured their fifth consecutive league win by coming from behind to beat Brentford 2-1. However, Saint-Maximin’s absence will be a blow for the team, as the 26-year-old faces an extended spell on the sidelines. According to reports from Newcastleworld, the Frenchman could be out of action for four to six weeks.
This injury is particularly frustrating for Saint-Maximin, who had been making strides towards becoming a regular player in the team. He had started four consecutive matches for the first time since August. The setback couldn’t have come at a worse time for the player or the team, as they continue their push for a strong finish in the league.
Newcastle United will need to rally their resources to fill the void left by Saint-Maximin, who has been an integral part of their success in recent matches. The injury will undoubtedly test the team’s depth and resilience as they aim to maintain their impressive form in the coming weeks
