Newcastle United: Allan Saint-Maximin’s tweet has supporters praising winger ahead of Oxford clash

Ahead of Newcastle United’s looming FA Cup replay away to Oxford United, Magpies supporters have taken to Twitter and praised winger Allan Saint-Maximin’s heartfelt social media post with his daughter – prompting supporters to be grateful that the Frenchman is back from injury and enjoying life.

Saint-Maximin, who couldn’t help his side break through a stern Norwich City defence in their last Premier League outing, has recently returned to the fold after a hamstring injury ruled him out for the entirety of the festive period. The Frenchman, who has been a crucial figure judging by his stats, has completed more dribbles (4.4) per game than any other Magpies player this season (WhoScored.com) – potentially highlighting his creative influence under manager Steve Bruce.

As a result, a lot of Newcastle fans are keen to see him back to his best, with their next Premier League clash away to Arsenal being just under a fortnight away – giving Saint-Maximin some time to find his feet when it comes to fitness and recovery.

Here’s how supporters lauded the 22-year-old’s message on Twitter.
