Southampton interim manager Simon Rusk has provided a fitness update on Paul Onuachu ahead of his side's home clash with Aston Villa.
Onuachu was left on the bench during Southampton's 3-1 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
The 30-year-old sustained an ankle injury in the Saints' 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace two weeks ago.
Rusk declared that the striker will be assessed ahead of the game.
“We’ve got a fairly clean bill of health at the minute. There are one or two. Charlie Taylor is knocking about with one or two issues,”; Rusk was quoted by Daily Echo.
“Paul has trained; he is in and around it. We have one or two that we are assessing, and Paul is one of them. We’re hoping that the signs for that are looking good.”;
The Nigerian has scored four goals and provided one assist from nine Premier League starts this season.
