Ross Stewart First Game For Southampton Imminent
It's been two months since Ross Stewart joined Saints from Sunderland and little has been seen of him since, however Russell Martin has now given an update and has revealed that Stewart's debut could be only a week away.
Southampton travel to Millwall on Saturday and then host West Bromwich Albion at St Mary's a week later and Russell Martin has now told the media that the striker could feature in one of the next two features.
The Daily Echo has carried quotes from the Saints manager clarifying the situation.
Speaking to the paper he said:
"He’s really close. If it’s not next week, hopefully, it will be the West Brom game.”
That will be good news for Southampton supporters, although after the recent good results that have seen Saints stem the goals against at one end of the ground and averaging 2 goals a game at the front end, the debut of Stewart isn't as desperate as it was four weeks ago,
Against Birmingham City, Saints played a front three of Adam Armstrong, Kamaldeen Sulemana & Charly Alcatraz, all contributed in all of the three goals scored, Adam Armstrong leading the way with scoring the third goal and an assist for the opener, whilst Alcaraz scored the second with Sulemana providing the pin point cross.
The Saints manager also gave some good news on Che Adams who came off at half time at Preston North End and missed the win over Birmingham:
"I don’t think it’s going to be a long one, we’re hoping to have him back for next week but if not, it should be the week after.”
So it's good news to start the week for Russell Martin and his squad, now we have to keep the good run going by taking all three points at Millwall on Saturday..
