26/04/2024 Raymond 0

“Downes, aged 25, has been sidelined for recent matches against Cardiff City and Leicester City, both resulting in losses for Southampton.

Their track record without Downes is concerning, having secured only two wins out of ten Championship fixtures in his absence.

Martin, when queried about Downes’ potential inclusion before the playoffs, admitted that while they won’t take any unnecessary risks with him, he remains part of the squad.

“It’s not a risk if he enters the pitch. I don’t think there’s any point in risking him, so if he gets on the pitch tomorrow, it’ll be part of the plan.

“And if he doesn’t, it’ll be the same, it’ll be part of the plan.””

Viktor Johansson, the Swedish goalkeeper, has been a standout performer for Rotherham United amid a challenging Championship season, which has seen them languishing at the bottom of the table and already relegated to League One. Johansson joined Rotherham as a free agent in September 2020, signing a two-year contract after his stint with Leicester City. Despite not making any appearances for Leicester’s senior team, he featured prominently for their under-21’s side in various competitions. Making his debut for Rotherham in a 2-1 victory against Preston North End in 2020, Johansson swiftly established himself as the primary goalkeeper, accumulating over 140 appearances for the club. During his tenure, he has garnered numerous individual awards, including Young Player of the Season and Player of the Year accolades. Moreover, Johansson played a pivotal role in Rotherham’s triumph in the 2021/22 EFL Trophy, orchestrating victories in penalty shootouts on the path to clinching the trophy at Wembley Stadium. With Rotherham’s relegation confirmed, speculation surrounding Johansson’s departure has intensified, with Sheffield United among the clubs reportedly interested in acquiring his services.

Despite the initial optimism surrounding Sagoe Jr.’s move to Swansea at the end of January, the young winger has struggled to make an impact in the Championship. His playing time has been minimal, featuring only twice for the Swans, both appearances coming off the bench and totaling a mere 25 minutes of action. Despite initially making the matchday squad for his first five games with Swansea, Sagoe Jr. seems to have fallen out of favor, evident from his absence from the squad since the match against Sunderland on February 24th.
