Ronald Koeman has confirmed that Sadio Mane will be in the squad for Tuesday's trip to the Emirates to take on Arsenal.

Koeman also confirmed that Mane has arrived in good shape, he has been fir for the start of the season in Austria and added to that has had a fortnight with Senegal meaning the only issue is getting him in tune with the way Saints play rather than getting him match fit.

Two players who won't be in the squad though are James Ward Prowse and Yoshida both of whom had to come off with ankle injuries on Saturday although both should be fit for Saturday, this means that with Toby Alderweireld carrying a knock Florin Gardos looks likely to make his full debut.
