Southampton head coach, Russell Martin is optimistic that striker Paul Onuachu will be fit for Wednesday's Premier League match against Chelsea, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Onuachu has been sidelined since picking up an injury in the Saints' 3-2 home defeat to Liverpool two weeks ago.
The Nigerian striker missed Southampton's 1-1 draw against Brighton last Friday, but Martin is hopeful that he will be available for selection when Chelsea visit the St Mary's Stadium midweek.
"We're hopeful that Paul will be involved on Wednesday, which will be good for us," Martin told Yahoo Sports.
Onuachu has made six league appearances for Southampton this season, and his return would be a welcome boost for Martin's side as they look to climb the Premier League table.
