Suspension served Romeu served a one-match ban against Espanyol and is set to return for a Saturday clash with Sevilla.

Busy defensively Romeu produced 10 tackles (seven won) along with a clearance in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Betis.
Impact Romeu was exceptional for Girona on the defensive side with double digit tackles on the day. Look for the 30-year-old to continue to be a threat on both sides of the field with a goal, 12 tackles (nine won), and three chances created in the last three matches.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Offensive upside limited Romeu appeared in 36 matches (34 starts) for the club this season but managed just two goals on 24 shots (four on target), two assists and 13 crosses (five accurate).
Impact While Romeu's productivity in the final third was limited, he did produce decent defensive stats with 77 tackles, 51 interceptions and 40 clearances. Fantasy players shouldn't be expected to see significantly more offense out of the defensive midfielder heading into the next season but he should still produce those defensive stats.

Nets rare goal Romeu scored once on one shot during Friday's 2-0 win over Norwich.
Impact Romeu scored from midfield late-on during Friday's comfortable win to help seal the deal. The midfielder isn't a frequent goal-threat and doesn't offer much going forward in general. Despite this goal, Romeu isn't the Southampton midfielder to target, that title still goes to James Ward-Prowse.

Available versus Crystal Palace Romeu is eligible to play in Wednesday's matchup with Crystal Palace after serving a one-match ban for accumulation.
Impact Considering Romeu started all 15 of his appearances this season, he figures to be a lock for the starting XI against Palace. In those previous tilts, the midfielder recorded 36 tackles, 25 clearances and 17 interceptions while also taking just six shots (zero on target). As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to offer much in the way of value moving forward.

Piling up tackles Romeu has started all three games for Southampton during the new season.
Impact Romeu has returned from an injury plagued season to start all three games for the Saints so far. The midfielder leads Southampton with 11 tackles through the first three fixtures.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles with injury Romeu scored one goal and provided one assist in 21 appearances (20 starts) during the 2020/21 season.
Impact Romeu was out from March to the final game of the season and that forced a major cutback on his minutes from his tendency to make at least 30 league appearances in a season. Since he still made a respectable 69 tackles, not much was lost in production compared to Romeu's contemporaries in the holding midfielder position. Like much of Saints heading into next season, staying healthy will be a big boost to the defensive value of the team and in achieving a much better place in the table.

Available for finale Romeu (ankle) is an option for Sunday's match against West Ham, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact Romeu has been training in full this week, so there's a chance he makes a return to the starting XI Sunday, but that's still a stretch. He hasn't played since February because of an ankle injury and even if he starts, it's hard to see him going the full 90, especially since Southampton have nothing to play for.

Impact Romeu hasn't played since February because of an ankle injury and there's little reason for him to be pushed into the squad with little to play for. At best, he'll be an option off the bench over the final two matches since his fitness probably isn't at a level where he could go 90 minutes.
