LONDON (Reuters) - Uruguayan Martin Caceres could make his Southampton debut in the English League Cup final against Manchester United on Sunday despite having not played a competitive game for 12 months, manager Claude Puel said on Friday. The 29-year-old former Barcelona and Juventus defender signed a short-term deal with the Premier League club last week and impressed Puel during a training camp in Spain. Southampton are trying to win their first silverware since beating United in the 1976 FA Cup final. "It's a good surprise about Martín, because he is physically fit and we will see if he can participate for the final," Puel told reporters. Caceres, who played for Uruguay in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, has been without a club since his contract with Juventus ended last June.
