Jay Rodriguez sidelined for Southampton

23 September 2016 01:04

Southampton will again be without forward Jay Rodriguez because of a groin problem for Sunday's Premier League match at West Ham.

Saints manager Claude Puel is expected to recall his first-team regulars after changing the side for the midweek EFL Cup win over Crystal Palace.

Club-record signing Sofiane Boufal continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury, and the Morocco midfielder could make a belated debut after the international break, while right-back Jeremy Pied (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Provisional squad: Forster, Soares, Van Dijk, Fonte, Bertrand, Tadic, Romeu, Davis, Clasie, Redmond, Long, McCarthy, Hojbjerg, Austin, Martina, Isgrove, Reed, Yoshida
