Southampton manager Russell Martin has expressed confidence that striker Paul Onuachu will be available for the Saints’ upcoming match against Brighton on Friday.
Onuachu sustained a minor injury during Southampton’s 3-2 home defeat to Liverpool last weekend, sparking concerns about a potential lengthy absence. However, Martin reassured fans that the injury is not serious.
“Paul’s being assessed, so fingers crossed Paul will come through alright,” Martin said in a press briefing. “It’s not a bad injury at all, which is really good news for us. Just a niggle, so hopefully we can manage that and he can be involved.”
Onuachu, who has made limited league appearances this season, started against Liverpool for the first time this campaign. Martin remains hopeful the striker will be ready for the Brighton fixture, crucial to Southampton’s efforts in the Premier League.
