Che Adams Fit For The Visit Of Burnley
Saints hopes of making it tow wins in a row on Saturday when Burnley arrive at St Mary's have been boosted by the return to full training of Che Adams, although he may be unlikely to start the game with Armando Broja making such an Impact against Leeds united.
Che Adams had to sit out the game against Leeds and watch from the stands as loan signing from Chelsea made his debut as the lone striker up front and it is likely that Ralph Hasenhuttl will again got for the Albanian from Slough in that role for the visit of Burnley with Nathan Redmond once again in a more free role.
But any manager will tell you that sometimes it is just as important who you have on the bench when you go into a game, as it gives them the ability to change things when needed and good or bad substitutions can change a game.
The striking duo of Che Adams and Adam Armstrong haven't played badly in the opening game, they have been busy and created chances, but the truth is they haven't put enough away and strikers thrive on scoring goals.
So for both Adam Armstrong and Che Adams a week in the stands watching will hopefully have revitalised them and stirred them up to start banging the goals in.
So the return to fitness of Che Adams will be a big boost for Ralph Hasenhuttl in term so not just options but having strikers chomping on the bit.
Adams has had some rave reviews playing for Scotland and he will be keen to get back to Premier League action, competition in a squad spurs players on, we didn't have it last season, we do have it this
