Allan Saint-Maximin has just dropped a huge hint on whether he'll play for Newcastle vs Brighton

Allan Saint-Maximin has now dropped a hint on whether he will play for Newcastle United at home to Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League today.

Saint-Maximin has been touted as a doubt for the game as he continues his recovery from injury.

He has not been in training all week as of Friday morning, but Eddie Howe did say he would make a late call, and the player himself has now hinted whether he will be involved this afternoon or not.

Taking to Twitter, Saint-Maximin has now posted a video compilation of some of his best dribbling skills in the 1-0 win at home to Aston Villa in the top flight last month, the last time that he featured in the North East.

He captioned it with just one word – the hashtag ‘#NEWBRI‘ – referencing today’s match, along with the suggestive eyes emoji, hinting that he may be fit enough to play.

It would certainly be a huge boost if Saint-Maximin is able to play a part against the Seagulls, especially given the fact that he has not trained, which would have caused an initial worry.

He is so important to the team, given that he is their second-top scorer in the Premier League so far this season with five goals, while his three assists are more than any of his teammates have managed (WhoScored).

Unsurprisingly, he also averages more dribbles than any Magpies player by far, and in fact the most out of anyone in the division (4.6).
