Allan Saint-Maximin breaks his silence after being named as one of two Newcastle United stars suffering from long Covid... but bizarrely doesn't mention the virus ONCE but does deny a rift with Steve Bruce

Newcastle star Allan Saint-Maximin has insisted he has 'no problem with Steve Bruce' but says he feels 'great', despite the club saying he is suffering from the issues of 'long term Covid.'

Saint Maximin put fans in the picture after making the unusual decision to speak to supporters directly via his own social media platform with the use of an Instagram live Q&A.

Talk had started to gather pace after the skillful winger was absent from the team set up, with suggestions of a possible bust up with team captain Jamaal Lascelles. Saint Maximin however did not suggest this was the case.
