Ghana’s Kamaldeen Sulemana could stage an injury return for Southampton in the clash with Huddersfield on Saturday in the English Championship.
Kamaldeen, 21 was not eligible to play for Ghana in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast because he had not played since the end of November of last year.
Nevertheless, manager Russell Martin has confirmed that the former Stade Rennais winger is ready to play against Huddersfield after he returned to training last week.
“I think the bench tomorrow is so strong. We have Kamaldeen back in the squad now, which is a really brilliant thing for us, a completely different option to anything else we have,” he said in the pre-match presser.
“He’s excited by the prospect of being back in the team. He’s working so hard, training like an absolute beast because he knows that’s what it’s going to take and the other guys are the same,” he added.
Sulemana is expected to play a key role with the Saints hoping to make a quick return to the Premier League.
