Allan Saint-Maximin will miss Newcastle's game against West Ham after picking up an injury in the match against Aston Villa.The winger, 24, has been in fine form in recent weeks, playing a key part as Newcastle have won three in a row to climb to 17th in the Premier League.But Saint-Maximin, who has five goals in all competitions this season, has been left out of Eddie Howe's 20-man squad for the trip to the London Stadium.Howe explained why he missed out to BT Sport, commenting: "At the Aston Villa game he picked up a knock. During that game he was kicked various times. It's a knock that will keep him out today."Saint-Maximin and Newcastle won that match 1-0.It is the second significant injury for Howe this week after Kieran Trippier required surgery on a foot injury. Howe suggested on Friday that he was hopeful that right-back Trippier, who joined from Atletico Madrid in the January window, would be able to play again this campaign.(Photo: Serena Taylor/Newcastle United via Getty Images)
