Southampton boss Russell Martin acknowledges he’s been carefully handling Che Adams’ workload this week to ensure he’s ready for Sunday’s playoff match against West Brom.
Adams was substituted off in the 60th minute during Southampton’s 2-1 victory over Leeds United at Elland Road, as he’s been nursing an injury. Despite this, he’s been a crucial scorer for the Saints this season, finding the net 17 times. With the playoff semi-final against West Brom looming on Sunday, Southampton is eager to have him fully fit for the crucial fixture.
Russell Martin, Southampton’s manager, has acknowledged the importance of managing Adams’ training workload carefully throughout the season. He revealed that Adams will continue to be closely monitored over the next few days to ensure he’s in optimal condition to contribute effectively at the Hawthorns on Sunday.
In a press conference, Martin emphasized that they’re taking precautions to manage Adams’ fitness, with a focus on ensuring he’s ready to make an impact on the pitch come Sunday. Southampton remains hopeful that Adams’ goal-scoring prowess will play a significant role in their bid to return to the Premier League in the upcoming matches.
