Southampton manager Russell Martin has confirmed that Paul Onuachu is fit and available for selection once again. The Nigerian striker has not featured for the Saints since picking up an injury during their Premier League match against Liverpool last month.
As Southampton prepares to host Tottenham Hotspur at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday, Martin revealed that Onuachu will be included in the matchday squad.
"Jan Bednarek’s back, Paul Onuachu’s back, which is really good, and apart from that, we’re all good," Martin said during a press conference.
Onuachu, who has yet to score in 16 league appearances since joining Southampton, has faced challenges in finding the net. However, Martin expressed his appreciation for the striker’s contribution to the team, despite his goal drought.
"Paul gives us a real alternative option that’s different from anyone in the squad and most people in the league actually," Martin added. "He was really unfortunate with the timing of his injury, as he was in such a good place and was going to really help us. Now, he’s going to help us moving forward."
