The fitness of Ghanaian winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has improved, according to Southampton manager Russell Martin.
The 22-year-old Kamaldeen Sulemana is getting close to playing again after missing the last few games of the preseason because of an injury.
“Kamaldeen is nearly fit, Ross Stewart is nearly back in contention, Adam Lallana is nearly back, so they’re in a really good place,” Martin stated.
We seem to have reached a stage where the first game has to happen. If we got extra training time, I’m not sure what we would work on.
“The players just need it to come now, and we’re incredibly happy with the work we’ve done. I believe that everyone does. It will be good to have it resolved.”
Southampton is encouraged by Sulemana’s possible availability ahead of their Premier League debut on Saturday against Newcastle United.
The quick winger might wind up being a great asset for the Saints in their quest for a successful season opener.
Sulemana’s fitness is a plus, but there will be competition for a starting place in Southampton’s starting lineup.
The team has been active in the transfer market, and manager Russell Martin will have a variety of choices at his disposal.
