Mohammed Salisu - Dealing with hamstring issue Salisu is considered a late test for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa because of a hamstring issue, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact This may only be a minor tweak for Salisu, who missed Wednesday's FA Cup match. He's been a rock for their back line, going a full 90 in the prior seven league matches following his red-card removal against Tottenham. If he can't go, Jack Stephens would likely start next to Jan Bednarek.

Shane Long - Injured in Cup match Long picked up a knock in Wednesday's FA Cup match and is a late test going forward, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Long only made it 45 minutes Wednesday, which isn't a good sign for his status Saturday on a short week. No matter, he's the fourth forward option for Southampton and has just one league start this season, so his presence doesn't change much.

Nathan Redmond - Gets minutes in Cup match Redmond (ankle) played the final 10 minutes of Wednesday's FA Cup match against West Ham.

Impact Redmond finally returned to the squad Wednesday after supposedly being available the prior two weeks. He'd missed the prior four league matches and it doesn't seem like he'll immediately be back in the XI with Mohamed Elyounoussi and Stuart Armstrong playing well on the wings.

Kyle Walker-Peters - Picks up minor hamstring issue Walker-Peters had to be subbed off in the 58th minute for Wednesday's FA Cup match because of a hamstring issue, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. He's a late-fitness test for...

Impact It's not a good sign for Walker-Peters on a short week and there's a decent chance Romain Perraud could return to the XI at Villa, especially after banging in a top-class goal Wednesday. As for Walker-Peters, this doesn't sound like a month-long hamstring injury.

Fraser Forster - Another simple clean sheet Forster made one saves during Friday's 2-0 win over Norwich City.

Impact Forster now has two clean sheets in his last two matches and has made only one save in that time. This was an easy run of matches to say the least, though it should get harder for Forster moving forward. Next up is a trip to Aston Villa on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Armando Broja - Held to three shots Broja shot three times (one on goal) during Friday's 2-0 win over Norwich.

Impact Broja was the only part of the Southampton attack that didn't seem to be fully ticking Friday. The forward just struggled to get much done and failed to really take over the match. Broja is still the top forward option in Southampton, and will be right back up top leading the line against Aston Villa next time out.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Walker-Peters - Busy Friday Walker-Peters sent in four crosses and created two chances during Friday's 2-0 win over Norwich.

Impact Walker-Peters has established himself as a strong offensive full-back and he kept that up Friday. Adding three shots (two on goal), a team-high while also sending in crosses and creating some dangerous chances. The wing-back will be a solid play against Aston Villa next time out.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Fifteen crosses Friday Ward-Prowse sent in 15 crosses (seven accurate) creating three chances during Friday's 2-0 win over Norwich.

Impact Ward-Prowse was his usual fantasy-monster self Friday, sending in crosses and dominating set pieces. The midfielder is the premier target for fantasy purposes on Southampton and should be rostered in all formats. He will be a top play against Aston Villa next time out.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stuart Armstrong - Seven shots in win Armstrong shot seven times (once on goal) during Friday's 2-0 win over Norwich.

Impact Armstrong was absolutely peppering Angus Gunn's goal, putting seven shots forward, though only one actually troubled the keeper. The midfielder will be a solid fantasy option moving forward, though he loses nearly all of his set-piece value when James Ward-Prowse is in the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Oriol Romeu - 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.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Che Adams - Nets in win Adams scored once on four shots (one on goal) during Friday's 2-0 win over Norwich.

Impact Adams did well with his chances to score and keep his purple patch going. The forward has become one of the most dangerous options in the Premier League in recent months. He will be tested more away to Aston Villa on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Romain Perraud - Available against Norwich Perraud (COVID-19) is available for Friday's match against Norwich City.

Impact Perraud is available, but he may not get his spot back in the team despite starting six-straight matches prior to getting COVID-19. Valentino Livramento is still the preferred option at left-back and it's expected Perraud will be back in his bench role going forward unless Ralph Hasenhuttl moves either one up the pitch.

Fraser Forster - Easy clean sheet Forster made no saves or clearances during Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton.

Impact Forster made no saves and faced no shots as he took the day off and earned a clean sheet. The keeper isn't a top tier option but as long as he faces some of the weakest attacks in the Premier League he will hope to keep the clean sheets going. Next up is a clash with Norwich on Friday.

FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Walker-Peters - Creates two chances Walker-Peters created two chances and shot four times (twice on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton.

Impact Walker-Peters was excellent bombing forward Saturday, putting pressure all over the Everton back-line. The left-back has some strong fantasy value and loves to get forward at any opportunity. Walker-Peters will be a solid fantasy play against Norwich City on Friday.

FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Armando Broja - Busy in win Broja shot four times (two on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton.

Impact Broja didn't get on the scoresheet Saturday, but he did well throughout the match to keep the pressure on the Everton defense. Broja is a solid fantasy play and has established himself as the top striker in Southampton. He will look to get back in the goals against Norwich on Friday.
