Martin reveals whether Bednarek, Onuachu Lallana and Ramsdale are fit for Spurs

SAINTS manager Russell Martin issued a positive update on three of his four injured stars ahead of Sunday's home match against Tottenham Hotspur.

Jan Bednarek, Paul Onuachu and Adam Lallana have all been declared fit to rejoin Martin's squad, but it comes too soon for Aaron Ramsdale.

Saints host Ange Postecoglou's Spurs from 7pm on Sunday in front of the TV cameras and the trio of returning players will be a welcome boost.

They sit bottom of the Premier League with just one win and two draws from their 15 matches this season but the board retain faith in boss Martin.

"Jan Bednarek's back, Paul Onuachu's back, which is really good, and apart from that we're all good, oh and Adam Lallana is in the squad," Martin said.

"Alex McCarthy's also back fit and Rambo's very close, he may be back for the Liverpool game in the Carabao Cup but if not the Fulham game after that."

"It'll give us something different, in Janny there's a lot of games played for us this season and a lot of trust," continued Martin.

"He's been a very good performer for us in our time here, including this season, with leadership and courage with the ball.

"Paul Onuachu gives us a real alternative option that's different to anyone in the squad and most people in the league actually.

"He was really unfortunate with the timing of his injury as he was in such a good place and was going to help us, and now he's going to help us moving forwards."

Bednarek has been absent for four games since the international break while Lallana and Onuachu have missed the last three since Liverpool.

McCarthy started once in place of Ramsdale, in that 3-2 defeat to the Anfield side, but has only been fit enough for the bench since.
