"Things are looking a bit brighter. Junior will be training on Monday, Sam Gallagher's back in on Monday, Gavin Bazunu will be fit by Monday. That's significant progress."
"It was a nightmare start to his loan move for Bazunu, after he kept a clean sheet on his debut for Stoke in a scoreless draw with QPR. After returning from a long-term achilles absence, he broke back into the Saints first-team, then had a seven-game spell on the bench between late-September and early November."
Gavin Bazunu, Ireland's goalkeeper on loan at Stoke City from Southampton, suffered a thigh injury just one game into his loan spell. He has been sidelined for eight Championship matches but is closing in on a return this month, according to Stoke manager Mark Robins. Bazunu's recovery is significant timing for Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson ahead of World Cup play-offs against Czechia on March 26. Bazunu's loan move came after Southampton signed Daniel Peretz on loan from Bayern Munich in January. Robins confirmed Bazunu would be fit by Monday, alongside three other returning players, marking progress in addressing the club's injury crisis.
