Southampton's new signing Martin Caceres could make his debut for the English club against Manchester United in the final of the EFL Cup on Sunday. The Uruguayan defender (pictured below) joined the Saints on February 16, 2017 as a free agent when his contract with Italian giants Juventus expired, but has not played a match due to an Achilles problem. .jpg)
The 29-year-old has also played for Villarreal, Barcelona and Sevilla in the Spanish league, and boasts of a vast experience to offer at the big stage. After monitoring his progress in the team's training camp in Spain, Southampton boss Claude Puel is quoted by ESPN as saying:
"I was surprised by his good physical fitness, because he can come on the training camp with a good level, good quality.
''He worked hard on his fitness during his injury, and I don't know if he can participate at the beginning of this game but he can give good opportunities and solutions.''
Winger Sofiane Boufal could also return for the Premiership side in this tie. The lethal forward had an ankle injury but seems to be fit for Sunday's showdown at Wembley. Puel added:
"We will see on Saturday with Boufal. He came back with the team yesterday and we will see if he will be fit for this game.''
