Allan Saint-Maximin is out of Newcastle United’s visit to Goodison Park.

Saint-Maximin missed this afternoon’s stunning 6-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The winger – who has been in his native France getting treatment on a hamstring injury – is due back on Tyneside early next week ahead of Thursday night’s game against Everton.

However, the fixture is likely to come too soon for Saint-Maximin, according to Howe.

“I think Everton will be too early for Maxi,” said Howe.

Howe lost defender Fabian Schar to a hamstring injury in the Tottenham game.

Schar was replaced by club captain Jamaal Lascelles in the 74th minute, and United’s head coach said: “With Fabian, I don’t know. We’ve got a couple of knocks in there (the dressing room).”

The Tottenham win took Newcastle back up to third place with seven games left to play.
