Injury Boost For Southampton As Crucial Two Return To Training

Saints have been boosted by the news that both Che Adams & Stuart Armstrong have returned to training and could be in contention for a place in the side for the trip to West Ham United on Boxing Day.

Southampton supporters got an early Christmas Present after Ralph Hasenhuttl revealed that both Che Adams and Stuart Armstrong were back in training although stopped short in revealing his hand to David Moyes ahead of the game by saying they would be in the squad.

"The injury situation is also getting better. Stu [Armstrong] is back in sessions and Che Adams is back in the session, and that’s so far the situation how it is., but it can change every day, as I said."

This is good news for Saints fans, with a lack of firepower in the first part of this season, Che Adams stepped up to the plate and with 3 Premier League goals plus an assist and a deflected shot against Manchester United that was given as an own goal Adams had been the main man up till his injury at the start of December.

Stuart Armstrong has barely played this season, only four times in the Premier League, but when he has we have won, with three of those appearances coming in the wins over Leeds, Watford & Aston Villa, our only victories in the Premier League so far.

In fact you have to go back to 2019 to find a Premier League victory for Saints in which the Scot was not involved.

In fact Armstrong's rise to being such a valued member of the squad is a reminder that success is not always instant, when he joined the club in 2018 for the season and a half he was far from a regular in the starting line up and it was only in the second half of the 2019/20 season he truly cemented his place as a first choice player, last season being the first time he had started over half the 38 Premier League game.

The news that both are back in contention has to be good news as we head into a busy programme and one that it is vital that we win at least one of the three games over the Xmas period.
