Saints trio "in a good place" ahead of Premier League opener
Russell Martin has doubts over three players but believes his Southampton squad is in good shape heading into Saturday’s Premier League opener at Newcastle.
Kamaldeen Sulemana is still recovering from an injury picked up in pre-season, while Adam Lallana is getting closer to making his first Saints appearance since returning to the club.
Ross Stewart is “nearly back in contention” according to his manager, while everyone else is fit to feature.
“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 said of his squad, who will travel to Newcastle on Friday.
