‘He will certainly help us win a few games’: Bruce eyeing return to form

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce says that Allan Saint-Maximin’s return from injury could help to turn around the club’s fortunes.

Saint-Maximin last played against Chelsea during November and Newcastle’s form has tailed off significantly since then.

The 23-year-old has finally shaken off the effects of a calf injury and COVID-19 and will be in the squad for the Premier League game at Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

Ahead of the trip to Villa Park, Bruce told Sky Sports that it was a major boost to have the Frenchman back in the fold.
