Abbott staying patient and ready at Saints
- Published
Defender Zach Abbott says he is staying "patient and ready" at Southampton while he waits for his chance for a run in the side.
The 20-year-old centre-back has played twice for Saints in the Championship since joining on loan from Nottingham Forest in September.
He has been on Southampton's bench for eight matches and before last weekend only had one 45 minute spell of game-time since the move.
"No one's happy when they don't play as many minutes," Abbott told BBC Radio Solent.
"I think what it's really taught me is staying patient around a top group and making sure that I'm ready every single day.
