Nathan Redmond Out With A Hamstring Injury
Saints injury worries worsened this week with the news that Nathan Redmond picked up an hamstring injury prior to the Wolverhampton Wanderers game and may miss the Manchester United home game at the weekend..
Ralph Hasenhuttl confirmed that Nathan Redmond was missing from the Saints squad at Molineux not because he had been dropped or tactical reasons, but because of a hamstring injury.
Asked for an update on winger Ralph Hasenhuttl had this to say:
"It will be seven to ten days so for Sunday, I don't think so.
"It was a small injury but definitely a hamstring injury.
"It has not been his best season so far.
"He has had problems with his body and this is definitely a player that we will miss."
This means that he is likely to miss the game against Manchester United although could potentially be fit for the trip to Brighton the following weekend.
Moussa Djenepo played wide left at Wolves but was not totally convincing and is still yet to become a pro active player and understand his defensive duties, alternatively Ralph could play Nathan Tella or as he did when taking Djenepo off on Monday night, bring Theo Walcott back to the wing and play Shaane Long or Michael Obafemi up front or even Dan N Lundulu

Farke happy with the result after bore draw at NorwichMany neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.
