Kamaldeen Sulemana to miss Southampton trip to Bournemouth

-

Southampton manager, Russell Martin has confirmed that Kamaldeen Sulemana will miss tonight’s game against AFC Bournemouth due to injury.

The Saints are set to face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, with kick-off at 18:00 GMT.

Speaking during a pre-match press conference, Martin provided an update on Sulemana, who has been sidelined since preseason with an injury.

“We have no one coming back that we didn’t expect… Kamaldeen is still a bit away from being with us,” Martin said.

Sulemana, who made 18 appearances and contributed two goals and an assist in the Championship last season, is yet to feature in the Premier League this term following Southampton’s return to the top flight.

Additionally, Southampton will be without midfielder Will Smallbone, who is recovering from a hamstring injury. Both Smallbone and Sulemana are expected to be back after the international break in October.

Southampton, currently without a win in five league games, will be hoping to turn their fortunes around in their upcoming match against Bournemouth.
