Nigeria’s international, Paul Onuachu, will be evaluated in front of Southampton’s homemade clash with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday, the interim chief Simon Rusk revealed.
Onuachu has scored in consecutive games at St Mary’s, but was retired for the 3-1 defeat on Sunday in Tottenham with an ankle concern given as the official reason.
Former Manager Ivan Juric expressed his opinion that UNAchu cannot play more than once a week without his level falling.
The 30 -year -old has trained with the group this week, and Rusk believes that things look positive before facing Villa.
“We have a fairly clean health bill in the minute. There are one or two. Charlie Taylor is hitting with one or two problems,” Rusk was removed by Daily Echo.
“Paul has trained; he is inside and around. We have one or two that we are evaluating, and Paul is one of them. We hope the signals look good.”
Enuachu has scored four goals and provided an assistance of nine beginnings of the Premier League this season.
Only the former Aston Villa Cameron Archer forward has scored more than him this season (five), but only two of his goals have reached the Premier League.
The 23-year-old has not scored since Southampton’s 2-1 defeat against Liverpool in the Cábao Cup during Rusk’s previous spell as an interim boss.
