Are people still going to claim the injury is a lie and a cover-up due to transfer links? Not only would it require the club to be lying, but Ward-Prowse wearing knee protection when he doesn't need to.

It was said at the fan forum he was back in training on Tuesday. But there has not been any photo galleries of Tuesday's training. Any photo you've seen is an old one rehashed for an article.

I wasn't going to argue as I agree, I also like 4 as a DM and 5 and 6 as centre backs.

Armstrong and Broja's numbers have not been announced yet. I'd be surprised if Armstrong was not number 9. The rest of the 1st team's are on the club's website... https://www.southamptonfc.com/first-team Normally the club write an article with a list of them all shortly before the season and will include academy players who have a number. They haven't done that quite yet this summer.

Hasenhuttl just said Ward-Prowse was back in training today.

Not when I posted it on my phone he hadn't.

The £25m fee as the article states is what he was valued at with 3 years left on his contract. He'd be cheaper now.

That wouldn't be allowed. "under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time" https://www.premierleague.com/news/464747

Leicester with Bertrand & Vestergaard would have 2 of the defenders from a team they beat 9-0 😁

Do you mean 24 year old Nathaniel Phillips?

He edited that in later. 🙄

That is a photoshop mock up.

If that is true... do you think that makes it acceptable?

Why are you using his first name and the surname for everyone else? 😁 His name is Dynel Simeu. He is playing and training in the under 23 team rather than the 1st team, so I doubt he'll feature on the bench vs Everton. They'll probably view Stephens and Liveramento (and possibly Vestergaard) as enough defensive cover on the bench.

What question are you asking?

Why?

Read my post in context. I was responding to him saying this...

As recently as July 2020 he was in a team that finished 11th in the PL, only 2 points from 10th. So it is hardly a stretch!
