Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu made an injury return to feature in Southampton home draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Salisu was introduced into the fixture on the 8th minute as replacement for German centre-back Armel Bella-Kotchap, who picked up an injury in the early minutes of the game.
A late James Ward-Prowse penalty earned Southampton a deserved point in a thrilling encounter as they came from behind against Tottenham at St Mary's.
A fragmented first half never really got going as both sides were forced into two substitutions apiece with Richarlison and Ben Davies coming off injured for Spurs and Saints' Armel Bella-Kotchap and Jan Bednarek also replaced.
Pedro Porro broke the deadlock, hammering a shot into the roof of the net just before half time.
Che Adams levelled 47 seconds into the second half, but Saints were staring at defeat with 15 minutes to go thanks to Harry Kane's header before a fine Ivan Perisic effort.
But Theo Walcott inspired Southampton's comeback with a slotted finish from Sekou Mara's header and Ward-Prowse completed it from the spot to secure a vital point.
The 23-year-old has not been involved in Southampton's last five Premier League games — Chelsea, Leeds United, Leicester City, Manchester United and Brentford — due to a knee problem.
Salisu has made 28 appearances across all competitions for Southampton this term.
He was included in Chris Hughton's 25-man squad for this month's 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers double-header against Angola.
