“He (Awoniyi) was out all week. He started today with the group so let’s see if he has this positive feeling. I think he can help us,” Santo told reporters.

“He joined the team today, he had good feelings, we still have to wait for tomorrow to see how it goes. And if he feels okay like he felt today, I think he can help definitely with his experience, he’s a goalscorer.

“We are aware and we know that he’s not in his top level but definitely a helpful player for us in these final moments.”
