Ahead of the midweek English Premier League game against Chelsea, Southampton manager Russell Martin is "hopeful" of a return for Nigeria international Paul Onuachu and experienced defender in Jan Bednarek, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
During his pre-match pressers, Martin admitted that the team is "hopeful that Paul will be involved on Wednesday" after missing the Friday night draw at Brighton.
"We have to accept we're missing some key players but we also have a lot of trust in the players we have. We have big trust in the shape we're going to play tomorrow because we've done it before".
It will be noteworthy to know that Onuachu picked up an injury in a rare start against Liverpool, although the team lost the game, they did give a worthy account of themselves with the Super Eagles forward causing problems for Liverpool's defense line.
