Martins praised the tall striker for his impressive performance in the game.
The gaffer is also hopeful the injury is nothing too serious.
“Paul probably deserved to start before now, the way he’s trained – he’s been so good. He was really good so I hope his injury is nothing too serious. It’s just a bit of fatigue but I thought he played really, really well,”Martin said after the game.
The 30-year-old has made six league appearances for the Saints this season.
