Team news update from Ralph: KWP, Adams and Small all out with covid. Livramento and Smallbone injured, Salisu suspended.

Interestingly, the part in the article about not standing in his way if we received an acceptable offer has now been edited to this: "Although it is believed there is no release clause inserted into the new agreement, the deal all but rules out Ward-Prowse leaving in the future unless an elite club makes Southampton an irresistible offer."

What is going on with Stu Armstrong? 🤔

Very odd. This is the first time I've seen that mentioned as a possibility anywhere?!

JWP and Armstrong missing from the squad

It's live on BBC Radio Solent

Would be happy with £8m to get him off the wage bill..

Wasn’t missing today! Photo 32 in the gallery…definitely the back of Ings’ head. Almost feels like the media team are not featuring him on purpose 😂

Missing from the training pics & videos for the last couple of days..

Blackburn not budging on their 25m valuation of Armstrong...

It was reported in the Athletic last week that he had his heart set on the 'top table' in response to rumoured interest from Villa, West Ham and Tottenham. Personally think Spurs is the best offer he's going to get though..

And a DM?

Salisu, KWP and Armstrong all start!

Armstrong has travelled so should be at least on the bench.

Ralph says Romeu, Vestergaard and Walker-Peters could all be back for Saturday!! (Romeu likely and Vest/KWP "maybe") Armstrong misses out though with a muscle injury....time to throw Minamino straight in?
