Southampton manager Russell Martin has confirmed that winger Kamaldeen Sulemana will be sidelined for three to four weeks due to an injury. Sulemana sustained the injury during a pre-season friendly match against Oxford United, and as a result, he is set to miss the first game of the Premier League campaign.
The loss of Sulemana is a significant blow for Southampton as they prepare for the upcoming season. The 22-year-old winger, known for his speed and agility, has been a key player for the Saints since joining the club. His absence will be felt in the early fixtures as the team looks to start the season on a strong note.
In a statement, Martin expressed his disappointment but remained optimistic about Sulemana’s recovery. “It’s unfortunate to lose Kamaldeen at this stage, especially with the season about to begin,” Martin said. “However, we have a strong squad, and we’re confident that he’ll make a full recovery and be back on the pitch soon.”
Southampton fans will be eagerly awaiting Sulemana’s return, hoping that he can quickly regain his form and contribute to the team’s efforts in the Premier League. In the meantime, the club will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by his absence.
