Although Southampton’s hard-earned Championship triumph over Huddersfield Town extended their winning streak to 22 games, Saints supporters will be concerned about the injury to one of their important players.
As one of the favourites to get promoted back to the Premier League, Southampton has distinguished itself in what is perhaps the most competitive Championship season in memory. Russell Martin’s team, who sit second in the league after 30 games played, have appeared unstoppable in recent weeks, putting a difficult start firmly in the past.
Key to Southampton’s continued success this campaign will be keeping players fit. Both Stuart Armstrong and Che Adams were forced into premature exits on Saturday with knocks, however, Martin admitted that neither had suffered serious injuries. Good news for Saints fans came from the return of Kamaldeen Sulemana who suffered a hamstring injury back in December.
