Yep, it's a concern, but I only saw the news when I read about the Ireland line-up; nothing from Saints..

There's a news article on the OS about it now.

No sightings. Surely he isn't going to play until after the next Intl break at the earliest as also had no pre season.

Ralph explained in his press conference that Stu has a calf problem and that it will be 2 or 3 weeks until he is ready to return. He also said that we now have players that can cover his absence.

Hope Jack Stephens injury is not too bad.
I have been critical of him in the past but he started this season well.

That is awful new for Stephens and potentially seriously bad news for Saints given "Gorilla's" nightmare debut last night. We are now desperately hoping Salisu and Bednarek stay fit and form a great partnership.

Debut is the word, are you writing him off after 1 game ?

absolutely NOT. He barely speaks the language, it was his first game in English football and it was a very much changed side out there last night. I actually have high hope for "Gorilla".

He will no doubt be very disappointed by his performance last night and the part he played in the goals, i'm sure it was not the debut he would have wished for.

He appears a great character and i trust we have seen something in him that we believe we can turn into a quality premiership defender....given time.

Fair enough but maybe you should have only posted this and not the previous one

[Baird of the land]

I was concerned Stephens might be out for much longer, so 10/12 weeks while disappointing is somewhat a relief

Sounds like Jack’s injury is worse than initially feared.

Although Ralph suggested it was not all bad, his knee isn't damaged at all. Could have been worse, but still serious long term injury. 

Some confusion on Stu, Tom Leach saying he is not training, others saying he is. 

[LiberalCommunist]

Very frustrating. 

It also carries on the trend of players on form getting injured from last season.

Ings, KWP,  Smallbone although limited game time was looking good, and lastly Rom's injury against Leeds.

Absolutely shocking timing again. But, it could be worse. We march on......

Didn’t know where to post this but it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen for ages. 

Tino Livramento on Nathan Redmond: “After the Newcastle game, he came up to me & said: 'I want to help different parts of your game, you're going to be a good player & I really want to help you with this.' He has been helping me a lot with improving my game.” #saintsfc [standard]

Decent experienced Premier League player helps young 18 year old talent.

That is funny why?

[SFC Forever]

Maybe because Tino is already showing he is better than Nathan although playing in a different position.

Because he's not very good, and Livramento is already twice the player Redmond is

Thierry Henry was a better player than Arsene Wenger... that doesn't mean he couldn't help him improve.

Redmond can teach him how to go backwards .

Who’d have thought a qualified football manager could help improve a player? What an irrelevant point.

Well thats an opinion you are entitled to on Redmond. Various managers, pundits, and a fair few on here disagree. Don't get me wrong I'd prefer a better option.

Let's agree on Tino, hell of a talent. Watch Newcastle offer 100 million now.

According to Ralph in the second part of the press conference, Jack Stephens might be available for Norwich.

Wonder if he gets back in over Bednarek. Obviously a great player but we have been clean sheet machines since his absence.

Is Sam McQueen still training with Saints or has he found a new club, does anyone know?

I think he'll have to wait for his chance because the JB/MS partnership is doing the biz at the moment with 3 clean sheets in our last 4. 

With Lyanco showing his worth recently as well, isn't it great to have genuine competition for places at the back now.

I love the competition we have all over the pitch. I think Lyanco has only really worked in a back 3 but he does give us more options tactically so that is good. Can't see him being a regular starter as would require us to change our formation but I like him as an option off the bench or if we need to really park the bus.

I think he has a contract until January? So should still be around.

Tino out of England set up due to ‘injury’

JWP out of England set up due to ‘illness’

[JRM]

Ward Prowse withdrawn from England due to illness (probably Covid? ) and Livramento out of u21s with an injury 

[The Cat]

Both good news for us as it gives them a rest and also means they can be around at some point during the international break to work on tactics etc for the Norwich game.

So happy for Jack (and us) that he's is back in training.  From my memory it's not often that long term injuries heal quicker than predictions.  It will be interesting to see how he is phased back in and whether he'll end up replacing Bednarek.  It will be good to have him as an option over the busy period.

Not surprised to hear this as he was decidedly lacklustre last Friday night and really didn't look fit almost from the start ☹️

[Saint_lambden]

Tino did have strapping on his left calf on Friday night so it may be linked to that.
