Saints head coach Tonda Eckert anticipates that at least one of Ross Stewart and Leo Scienza will be fit to face Oxford United in the upcoming Championship clash. The Saints, currently hosting the 22nd-placed team, aim to correct a 2-1 defeat to Oxford on Boxing Day. Both Stewart and Scienza missed the previous two matches due to muscle tightness and a groin injury, respectively. Eckert expressed optimism that one of the players will be available for the game, stating, "The questions are going to be for two players and they've both been on the pitch today. I'm quite positive that at least one of them is going to be available." Welington and Jay Robinson returned to training this week, but they were not mentioned during Eckert's press conference, suggesting the match is likely too soon for their inclusion. The coach emphasized confidence in his squad's energy, citing recent games against Fulham, West Brom, Coventry, and Norwich. "I have no doubt, because I think we've always been able to turn it on for games. I think it will be exactly the same for this one," Eckert added. The Saints' focus remains on addressing their recent loss and securing a positive result against Oxford United.#tonda_eckert #oxford_united #saints #ross_stewart #leo_scienza
