Club favourite Allan Saint-Maximin has spoken about the return of football, expressing his sorrow that fans won't be at the games.
"This is really, really difficult for me. For me, the supporters give you power and you can see we win more games at home than we do away from home," he told NUFC TV.
"It's like a green light for you. It's difficult to play away and without supporters and now we play a game at home against Sheffield United and it's really difficult.
