Delightful Southampton will welcome difference maker for the Brighton challenge | OneFootball

Ivan Juric revealed that he and Flynn Downes have ironed out their differences.

Many Premier League fans agree that injuries are a big setback to handle for any team. While there are no two ways about that fact, there are a number of situations that could affect a squad's full match potential.

One among them is a falling off in the roster. Talking about that, there is nothing more frustrating than a conflict involving the club's manager.

Unfortunately, Southampton has experienced it the hard way since the beginning of the month. Both Flynn Downes and Ivan Juric haven't been on good terms for a while now and the team's overall performances are also declining as a result.

Consequently, this scenario has divided the Southampton fanbase into siding with either the midfielder or the boss's views. Still, both sections of fans would prefer a good solution to this chaotic argument.

Today, those wishes seem close to being fulfilled. That's because Juric affirmed that Flynn Downes will participate in the coming home game.

In his own words, Juric told the Daily Echo: "Flynn is with us. I think like in every family there is a moment, bad moment or bad decision or something."

If that has brought out a wide smile on your face, then there's an even more delightful stat for Southampton. Remember, the Saints successfully claimed a draw against the Seagulls earlier this season?

I know it sounds surprising after witnessing a huge string of defeats already. Further, Downes stepped up to be the difference maker with his equalising goal on that occasion.

Hence, he would again be expected to spark inspiration into the Southampton lineup while facing Brighton. Without a doubt, Southampton's confidence will be boosted by Downes's involvement.

Will the Saints translate this momentum into a win? Let's wait to see.
