DARK SECRETS: Allan saint maximin close to return with eddie howe also unconcerned about bruno guimaraes injury | Rare Historical Photos

Eddie Howe has suggested that Allan Saint-Maximin is touch and go for the home clash with Crystal Palace this weekend.

The French winger sustained a hamstring injury on a defensive recovery sprint away to Wolves in the 1-1 draw last Sunday and subsequently missed the trip to Anfield in midweek for the agonising 2-1 defeat. But Howe has stated the former Nice man's injury is not serious.

Nevertheless, he will need late fitness checks before a decision is made. Both Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy are standing by as back-up.
