Southampton duo James Ward-prowse and Romeo Lavia, despite the transfer,

  After relegation from the Premier League last season, both players are related to leaving St Mary's University this summer.

  Southampton coach Russell Martin said that James Ward-prowse and Romeo Lavia will take part in the opening match of the Sky Betting Championship in Sheffield on Friday night and Wednesday.

  Both players have been linked with leaving St Mary's University this summer after relegation from the Premier League last season. Ward prowse has been linked with Fulham and West Ham, while Lavia has attracted an offer from Liverpool.

  But the transfer of these two men has not yet been realized, and Martin will use them in Hillsborough.

  "Both of them will take part in tomorrow night's competition. As far as the current situation is concerned, I don't know what will happen between now and then," he said at the pre-match press conference.

  "I think they will become Southampton players at the end of the transfer window? I have no idea. What I hope and think may be very different.

  "For me,' I think they will be here, I don't think they will be here' is meaningless, because in the end I can't control it.

  "If they are not here, or one person is not here, it is because the club and the players think they have something beneficial to everyone.

  "This is the case, which is why it has been delayed and may continue to delay. But when they came here, both of them performed well and will take part in the game tomorrow night. As far as the current situation is concerned. "

  Kamaldeen Sulemana is injured and will miss his trip to South Yorkshire, while Sekou Mara is in doubt.
