Martin provides injury update

Saints lost Kamaldeen to what appeared to be a hamstring problem in the first half of the 1-0 victory at St Mary’s, while they were without McCarthy and Stewart in the squad for the match.

On Kamaldeen, Martin said: “It’s a bit of a worry. We’ll get it scanned and keep our fingers crossed it’s not too bad, but it’s the big disappointment of the evening.

“Al just picked up a little strain and we hope to have him back very quickly.

“With Ross, he’s had a bit of a setback from the game on Saturday. We are assessing that currently, and by the time I speak to you guys on Friday, we will have a better understanding of the situation.

“It doesn’t look overly positive at this minute in time, it’s nowhere near to the extent of the injury he’s had but he’s picked up something else, which sometimes is part and parcel of the recovery from a long injury and the process of that, and he’s looked in such good shape.

“Hopefully by Friday I’ll be able to give a bit more information, but unfortunately he wasn’t able to be in the squad tonight, and I don’t envisage him being in the squad on Saturday either.”
