Allan Saint-Maximin has confirmed that he was 'not happy' after being left out of the Newcastle team against Burnley last weekend.
Sportsmail revealed last week that the winger was upset that manager Steve Bruce had suggested afterwards he was not fit enough to start. Saint-Maximin, we are told, believed he was fit.
We understand Bruce had told the squad he wanted 'warriors' against Burnley and, while there was no physical or verbal confrontation with Saint-Maximin, the Frenchman felt aggrieved at being 'dropped'.
'I feel good, my body feels good. I have been running a lot and trying to help my team,' he told the Shields Gazette.
'I stay on the bench against Burnley, and after, it's normal, when you don't play, you cannot be happy.
