Southampton travel to face Leeds United next Saturday, the final day of the regular Championship season
Southampton boss Russell Martin expects to see forward Ross Stewart return to fitness in time for next week's trip to Leeds United. The Saints have been forced to settle for a spot in the Championship play-offs this season with a run of three straight defeats, culminating in Saturday's 1-0 loss at home to Stoke City, ruling them out of automatic promotion contention.
'Yeah, all being well, Ross will be on the bench next week against Leeds,' Martin said of Stewart in his pre-match press conference before the club's final home game of the regular season against the Potters. 'Hopefully, fingers crossed, he's come through training really nicely. He'll have a big session in the morning and then have Sunday to recover. 'He will then be fully with the squad next week. So, all being well, we look forward to having Ross in the squad.
