No Injury Fresh Concerns For Southampton Ahead Of Semi Final With Leicester
Saints fans will be relived to hear that Ralph Hasenhuttl has no further injury issues to his squad for the trip to Wembley to face Leicester City in the FA Cup semi final on Sunday, in fact there is some good news as well on one of the long term injuries
Saints have had an injury free week meaning that the only first team regular missing from injury for the game against Leicester City will be Oriol Romeu, although of course Takumi Minamino is cup tied.
There is also some good news in that striker Michael Obafemi has returned to training this week after several months out.
Speaking to the media ahead of Sunday's match Hasenhuttl had this to say:
"So far, we have no new injuries from the last game.
"Michael Obafemi is back in training, but too early for him - and we are still without Oriol Romeu and Will Smallbone,"
Although Obafemi will not be in contention for the Wembley game, he could well feature in the remaining games in the Premier League and will again offer Ralph more options.
