SuperSAINT Posted 2 October, 2016 Share Posted 2 October, 2016 Claud's update on JRod and Boufal is good in two ways; positive on both likely to be available for Burnley game immediately after the international break; and that he seems to be more willing to give updates on injured players than has been the case in the past. Both of them badly needed as it will be back to games every 3/4 days after the break so would also be good to see Gardos get his first run out in a reserve fixture. With those three in contention the squad looks very strong on paper. Then comes the hard bit, delivering the performances, but as fans we tend to worry until the final whistle. Boufal & J-Rod coming back gives us some real options when it comes to rotation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pass the Dutchie Posted 3 October, 2016 Share Posted 3 October, 2016 Any news on Cedric? The Guardian says: Injuries Southampton: The foot injury that forced Cédric Soares off in the 26th minute is not thought to be serious but he may undergo a scan early this week to make sure.

Matthew Le God Posted 8 October, 2016 Share Posted 8 October, 2016 Long appears to be fine for Rep. Ireland's next game, so the Burnley game shouldn't be an issue. But striker Shane Long is expected to be fit for the game in Chisinau despite limping off late in Thursday's game with a leg muscle injury. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37583930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkoUK Posted 8 October, 2016 Share Posted 8 October, 2016 Well that's more than annoying. Last thing we wanted was Bertrand, a vital cog in our six in a row clean sheet defense, getting injured for that shambles that is known as England. Really do hate internationals, just lost every ounce of passion for them.. don't even know who we are playing today. Here is hoping it looked worse than it was and he is in-fact miraculously somehow fit for Burnley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 8 October, 2016 Share Posted 8 October, 2016 He could be fine again in a couple of days. In fact, it might do us a favour having him with his feet up at home and not out in Slovenia. Wishful thinking sadly, it looked nasty and is probably the last we'll see of him for a few weeks. The way he pulled up was not good and the look on his face told you all you needed to know. Bugger me that's four full backs crocked and the season's only just getting under way. So we are down to any two from Martina and McQueen! Imagine them playing three games a week with two long trips away as well. ... and what a bore-fest that was. At least England make Saints look impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 9 October, 2016 Share Posted 9 October, 2016 Yoshida or Sam McQueen at left back for Burnley? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk I was thinking the same thing ....Don't know if Targett is 100% yet, but although Burnley is always a tough game, maybe Puel will give McQueen a chance to start? Yoshida?....well he has had the no.3 shirt for a couple of seasons, and (as I recall) DAJFU whenever he played LB. Unfortunately, Maya hardly got a look in whilst Clyne and Bertrand were (rightly) first choices, and whenever he played "emergency RB " things often went pear-shaped. I think he is a better CB than a full back, (but he might not get past Fonte or VvD in their current form, although he has played CB in 3 of the recent 6 clean sheets.)
