KYLE WALKER-PETERS NEWS

Set for return Walker-Peters (calf) is an option for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Ivan Juric.

Impact Walker-Peters is back from his injury 10 days after suffering a blow to the calf against Chelsea, as he is now an option for Saturday. He is a regular starter and will be expected to see that spot immediately if deemed fit enough for that role, as he has only missed two matches when fit all season.

Off with calf Walker-Peters was forced off with an apparent injury during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Chelsea.

Impact Walker-Peters was struggling with his calf and eventually asked to come off early in the second half. Ryan Manning was brought on to replace the right wing-back for the remainder of the match. Walker-Peters will have some extra time to try and get fit before a March 8 trip to Anfield.

Struggling for production Walker-Peters has one shot (not on target), one chance created and two tackles won in Sunday's 3-2 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Walker-Peters has been playing as a wing-back the last few matches, but that hasn't resulted in an uptick in stats, as Southampton aren't keen on sending in crosses. He has just two crosses in his last three starts and while he's had some better attacking outings, it's clear, like anyone on this team, he's mostly inconsistent in terms of production with no reliance on clean sheets.

Impact Walker-Peters could be making a quick turnaround following the knock he suffered Wednesday, with the defender now expected to be an option Sunday.

Dealing with knock Walker-Peters missed Wednesday's clash with Liverpool due to a knock, according to George Rees-Julian of the Daily Echo.

Impact Walker-Peters was struggling with a knock and missed Wednesday's clash. The defender's next chance to return is a Sunday trip to Fulham, where he would likely be the starter at right wing-back if fit. Yukinari Sugawara is the top option to back up Walker-Peters if he can't go Sunday.

Records assist Walker-Peters assisted once to go with five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 5-1 defeat against Chelsea.

Impact Walker-Peters logged his first assist since Oct. 19, giving him two across Southampton's seven games between then and Wednesday. The defender having two Premier League assists this season makes him only one away from reaching his assist tally from last season's Championship.

Back in starting role Walker-Peters started and played 90 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Walker-Peters was back in the starting XI after falling to the bench and going unused in their past two games. He has now started five of the club's seven contests, notching a chance created, seven shots and eight crosses in the attack to go along with three interceptions, seven tackles and nine clearances in the defense in his 441 minutes of play. He will look to remain in the starting XI moving forward, as he is still in search of his first goal contribution of the season.

Attempts three shots Walker-Peters had three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Walker-Peters led Southampton on Saturday with three shots attempted (one on target) as Southampton fell 1 - 0 to Nottingham Forest. During the previous Championship campaign in which Southampton earned promotion, Walker-Peters averaged less than one shot attempted per appearance (40 shots over 46 starting appearances). Through two starting appearances in the 2024 -2024 Premier League, Walker-Peters has attempted five shots (one on target). He has also attempted a corner and cross in each match.

Orchestrated plays but no assists Walker-Peters generated three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 1-0 loss versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Walker-Peters put in one of the better Southampton defensive performances on Thursday. The right-back orchestrated some of their more threatening moves from crosses and corners but failed to create a goalscoring opportunity. The regular starter has scored once and delivered just two clean sheets. It is unlikely he will improve his clean sheet statistics in the Saints next against Newcastle. The Magpies have won seven of their last eight and scored at least two goals in their winning games.

Status unknown for Saturday Walker-Peters (hamstring) was not mentioned in Southampton's press conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Chelsea.

Impact This is a positive sign on Walker-Peters, who was pictured training on the pitch earlier in the week. Still, he's been out with a hamstring injury for a few weeks and an immediate return to the starting XI seems unlikely. Romain Perraud has received recent starts at left-back with James Bree starting at right-back.

Impact Walker-Peters has missed the last two matches with a hamstring tweak and could be an option again for Saturday's trip to Chelsea.

Impact Walker-Peters missed the last match with a hamstring problem and the team is doubtful that he will return for Saturday. Southampton doesn't want to rush his return, therefore Romain Perraud may get another shot at left-back if Walker-Peters is not fit enough.
