https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-07-09/st-gallen-southampton-pre-season-fixture-announcement - Saints have confirmed the St Gallen game but no others so far

Virgil van Dijk has told Southampton he ONLY wants to join Liverpool - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/virgil-van-dijk-told-southampton-10761788

I'm not one for reading much into twitter likes, but I do think it says something that he hasn't..

- He's 'liked' the birthday message from celtic on twitter, will be interesting if he does the same for this one

If you mean Ruben Semedo, he was sold to Villerreal a few weeks ago.

All part of his recovery I'm sure - He's been taking part in some parts of training but not the contact games with the ball from the looks of the photos/videos

From the training videos and pics we've seen so far, it didn't look like he was back in full contact training as I couldn't see him taking part in the small games with the rest of the squad.

"On the 15th of July, we will be playing a test match against Southampton on the Kellen Sportanlage. On Saturday, July 15, 2017, our team will play a test against Southampton FC.

Yeah he is due to be back tomorrow as he didn't go on international duty - Should be fully recovered from injury too so should be able to take full part in the fitness tests tomorrow (If he decides to turn up that is..)

Its official -

- Stephens contract incoming..

Official now -

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/880895309265739776 - Rudiger to Chelsea is a done deal according to this italian guardian/sky journo, medicals next week. Should rule them out of a move for VVD

Not a link to saints, but Wolves are apparently close to signing Ruben Neves from Porto for around 20m. This would be a ridiculous signing for them, he looks a really promising player and has been linked to chelsea and liverpool in the last few days. Porto are desperate to sell as they are at risk of breaking FFP rules and Wolves' strange link with Jorge Mendes might have something to do with this deal, but he's way too good for the championship.
