Ross Stewart - Gets run with U21s Stewart (calf) started with the U21s Friday, returning from a long-term injury.

Impact Stewart has been out since October with a calf injury, but he's been on the mend and finally got some minutes last week. It's unlikely he'll have much of a role in the senior squad the rest of the way, though anything could happen in the final few months with Southampton set to be relegated. Stewart was injured in his only start of the season, going 27 minutes.

Aaron Ramsdale - Eight saves in heavy loss Ramsdale recorded eight saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 57th minute.

This was the 14th goal conceded in Southampton's last five league games. The goalkeeper and the team will look to bounce back against Chelsea on Tuesday.

Adam Lallana - Won't play Saturday Lallana (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Ivan Juric.

Impact Lallana is still sidelined for yet another match, as he will miss out again due to a small injury he suffered last week. Luckily for the club, this isn't a major loss, as he hasn't seen a start since Jan. 24. He will look for a return soon, possibly seeing it next week after his injury was only claimed as a knock.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis - Still sidelined Hardwood-Bellis (ankle) is not an option for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Ivan Juric.

Impact Hardwood-Bellis is still not an option for the club, as he will be sidelined for a third straight game due to his ankle injury. This continues to be a brutal loss for the club, as he is a regular starter, starting in 22 of his 23 appearances. Nathan Wood will likely continue in his spot while out.

Jack Stephens - Option to face Brighton Stephens (calf) is an option for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Ivan Juric.

Impact Stephens is in the fold for the weekend after dealing with his calf injury, no surprise after the defender was starting to train around a week ago. This comes after only playing one game since Dec. 4, having suffered a relapse of his injury the last time he was on the field. He started in 10 of his 11 appearances before his injury and will hope to see that spot back soon while also hoping to avoid another injury following the plagued beginning of his season.

Mateus Fernandes - No shots on target in loss Fernandes recorded three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Fernandes was impactful in midfield Saturday. The attacking midfielder engaged in 14 duels (winning 10) and in playmaking executed three crosses (one accurate) and three long balls (one accurate). He did not manage to have an impact on the Saints attack, placing no shots on target. The regular starter has scored once and created two assists. It has been five games since his last assist.

Paul Onuachu - Assist in loss to Cherries Onuachu assisted once to go with two shots (none on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Onuachu had a disappointing showing Saturday. The striker did not manage to place any shots on target but had an attempt blocked. Despite his ineffective impact on goalscoring he did manage to create the assist for Saints only goal scored by Kamaldeen Sulemana. The Nigerian had been in hot form, he has netted two from the Saints previous three EPL matches.

Kamaldeen Sulemana - First goal in loss to Cherries Sulemana scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), two crosses (none accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Sulemana was Southampton's most lively and dangerous player Saturday. The striker managed to get on the scoresheet by netting one of the two shots he placed on target and he had another attempt blocked. He was subbed after 85 minutes. The Ghanaian is usually deployed from the bench, this was one of just four starts he has had this season and this was his first goal.

Aaron Ramsdale - Concedes three in loss to Cherries Ramsdale made five saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Ramsdale was the busier of the two keepers Saturday. He pulled off five saves but conceded three, and could have done better at stopping them all. The 26-year-old is not helped by a struggling Southampton team in front of him, he currently has the highest number of goals conceded per game (2.2) in the league and has produced just two clean sheets, the last being back in December. It is unlikely he will improve that in the Saints next against Brighton. The Seagulls have netted eight from their last five matches.

Impact Lallana is looking to be a late call for Saturday's match, with the midfielder suffering from a hamstring injury. This will likely leave him to take a fitness test ahead of the match, with that deciding his availability. That said, even if he is fit, he will probably only see a spot on the bench, only starting five times in 13 appearances this season.

Nathan Wood - Option to face Burnley Wood (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Ivan Juric. "Woody's in, and that's it I think. Yes, he is available."

Impact Wood is back from his injuries after only one match out, with the defender set to return Saturday. This is solid news for the club after the loss of Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jack Stephens again, as Wood will likely take over a starting spot in the defense. He has started in six of his eight appearances this season and has been their first option off the bench when they need a replacement in the defense, so this is a solid addition back for the club.

This will leave him out for their FA Cup match, although he will eye a return next contest against Bournemouth on Feb. 15. However, this will come down to his training, as he likely will not be rushed back as he is a regular starter.

Victor Udoh - Signs with Southampton Udoh has completed a transfer to Southampton from Royal Antwerp, according to his new club.

Impact Udoh has found a new club this Winter, linking up with the Saints after signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club. He has only appeared 28 times at the senior level thus far in his career, although he is only 20. That said, he is likely a player of the future for the club, but unlikely to see much time this campaign unless he can catch some form and is given the chance of some minutes.
