Southampton manager Will Still has explained why Super Eagles midfielder Joe Aribo is yet to make an appearance for the club this season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Aribo, who was heavily linked with a move away from St. Mary’s during the summer transfer window, ultimately stayed at the club and has been battling to regain his place in the squad.

Addressing questions about the Nigerian’s continued absence ahead of their Championship clash with Swansea City, Still revealed that missing a significant part of pre-season has affected Aribo’s involvement.

“He’s still with us, but he missed a whole chunk of pre-season, and we have to be fair and honest with everyone,” Still told the Daily Echo.

 “It’s just about the choices we have to make. I’m trying to stay as honest and level as I can with everyone, and they’re tough decisions, mate. But you’ve got to make them, and that’s where we are at the moment.”

Aribo played an important role for Southampton last season and will be hoping to work his way back into Still’s plans as the campaign progresses.
