Newcastle are handed a major boost as Allan Saint-Maximin is in contention to RETURN this weekend after injuring his hamstring in August... as Eddie Howe's high-flyers prepare to face Aston Villa in their first match since Unai Emery's appointment

Allan Saint-Maximin could return to the Newcastle squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa.

The Frenchman has played just 12 minutes of football since damaging his hamstring at the end of August, but is close to a return after stepping up his rehabilitation.

Midfielder Elliot Anderson is available after recovering from a minor ankle issue, but keeper Karl Darlow (ankle), defenders Paul Dummett (calf) and Emil Krafth (knee), midfielder Matt Ritchie (calf) and striker Alexander Isak (thigh) are still out.
