Welington and Albert Gronbaek are highly likely to feature in Southampton's away trip to Ipswich Town.
Honestly, this January transfer window has been very exhausting for Southampton fans. Other clubs are raiding the Saints to improve their squad while the club themselves are struggling to get their deals over the line.
Though the Saints have managed to sign a few players, they haven't donned the Southampton colours yet. Nevertheless, boss Ivan Juric recently gave an encouraging update regarding Albert Gronbaek's inclusion.
The next Premier League game is around the corner. Notably, Southampton will fly to Ipswich Town where Gronbaek could make his Saints debut.
As you might have experienced, Southampton often takes multiple decisions simultaneously. They sign a few players quickly and even negotiate the loan exits of a couple of fringe players within a matter of days.
Now, this is set to be the case with completing the milestone first appearance as well.
Southampton's new signing duo could receive Premier League debuts on weekend
Before the away Ipswich game, manager Ivan Juric shared an interesting update on new recruitments, Gronbaek and Welington. Certainly, this one will be music to the ears of Southampton fans ahead of the fixture.
As quoted by the Daily Echo, Juric said: "I think Albert Grønbaek will do really well. Technically he is really good. I think it's also time to put Welington on the pitch."
While there are huge expectations from Gronbaek, this match would also demonstrate Welington's squad role. Southampton largely lineup with three centre-backs thus a fullback's responsibilities have often changed in different matches.
Whether Welington offers defensive balance or plays as a wide attacker could impact the match result in many ways. Further, this match is Southampton's first in February thus they must aim to start the month on a good note.
Let's also wait to see which kind of first impression these two signings leave among the fans.
