With our players out on loan about to return to the club, could some of them make a comeback when it was assumed they had played their last game for the club. Cedric Soares might be one such player.

Whilst some of the loanee's who are still in contract such as Mo Elyounoussi might well feel that it is in their best interests to play, others like Wesley Hoedt and Mario Lemina will not be interested, Guido Carrillo might also fancy it but would he get to Staplewood as perhaps no one would recognise him.

But one player who Saints could perhaps utilise is Cedric Soares, the Portugese International is out of contract in the summer, but will still have some of that left if Football restarts on the intended date.

Certainly he would be an asset assuming he is now fit, Ralph Hasenhuttl seems to be unsure about Kyle Walker Peter's and still not convinced Yan Valery has the right attitude, Cedric as a stand in even if it is only for a few weeks could be a welcome addition.

Cedric's contract will expire though on July 1st, after that he would not be eligible to play unless the Premier League allowed some sort of contract extension.

But Cedric himself might feel that playing for Saints represents a big risk of injury, if he did play and that happened, then he might struggle to get a deal elsewhere for next season and find himself out of work for a period and therefore without earnings.

I would not blame Cedric for that, however he might feel that playing could put him in the spotlight to help him find a new club assuming that Arsenal don't follow up their loan spell.

legod7 added 12:55 - May 21 ,Elyounoussi,Forster, Lemina Carrillo or Hoedt wouldn’t be able to play if this season was restarted next month. They weren’t included in the 25 man squad given to the Premier League in January. So this is really a non-story.

underweststand added 20:26 - May 22 Cedric is not the worst RB we've ever had - although there was a group of fans who always found fault with him. I'm not sold on Valery and it looks like KWP will return to Spurs -if only because they will likely demand some ridiculous fee for him. Every player has his faults, but Cedric always gave 100% , and in this case we know what we will be getting. Its clear we will be getting a few new faces by next season and that will mean finding more money for transfer fees - so getting Cedric back - on a free transfer is surely a no-brainer. We've apparantly made a profit already - if the stories of loan fee that Arsenal (allegedly) paid for Cedric are anywhere near true. Get him back.
