Theo Walcott - Continues to miss out Walcott is not in the match day squad to face Aston Villa on Saturday.

Stuart Armstrong - Not included in injury report Armstrong (groin) was not mentioned by manager Nathan Jones in the lead-up to Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa, though the boss did tell reporters, "We've got one or two back fr...

Impact At this point, Armstrong should probably still be considered a doubt to face Aston Villa, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Even if cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI considering he has featured in just seven of his 17 appearances for the club this season.

Theo Walcott - May be available Saturday Walcott (calf) could be an option against Aston Villa on Saturday. Manager Nathan Jones told reporters, "We've got one or two back from injury."

Impact Considering Walcott has appeared in just three matches for the club this season, logging a combined 113 minutes, he probably shouldn't be expected to immediately jump into the starting XI. If he does get onto the pitch, it will likely be more as a substitute role, limiting his overall fantasy value.

Alex McCarthy - Could return against Villa McCarthy (ankle) might be an option versus Aston Villa on Saturday after manager Nathan Jones told reporters, "We've got one or two back from injury."

Impact It wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement for McCarthy to rejoin the squad but it's certainly a step in the right direction. Even if he is cleared to play, McCarthy may not be capable of supplanting Gavin Bazunu as the preferred choice of keeper, though the fact that Bazunu has yet to secure a clean sheet this season could open the door for McCarthy.

Armel Bella-Kotchap - Ruled out against Everton Bella-Kotchap (knee) is on "a timescale of 7-10 days," Southampton manager Nathan Jones said Thursday.

Impact Bella-Kotchap will miss Saturday's clash against Everton after suffering a knee injury against Forest last week, and he will be questionable for next weekend's Villa match as well. Jones said he will not rush Bella-Kotchap back to the squad due to the "trickiness of the injury," so Duje Caleta-Car should continue alongside Mohammed Salisu in central defense in his absence.

Theo Walcott - Could return Saturday Walcott (calf) is questionable to be able to feature in Saturday's clash against Everton, manager Nathan Jones announced Thursday.

Impact Walcott has missed Southampton's last three Premier League matches with a strained calf he suffered during the Carabao Cup Round of 16 win over Lincoln City in mid-December, but he could return to the squad against Everton. Walcott has made just three appearances (one start) in the league all season.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
