Stuart Armstrong - Goes full 90 against Tottenham Armstrong had two shots not on target and two inaccurate crosses in the 1-1 draw against Tottenham.
Impact Armstrong was back from injury in the draw and surprisingly went the full 90, the first time he went more than 56 minutes all season. His fitness is back, but he still doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the squad given his lack of form having been out the majority of the first half.

Valentino Livramento - Will miss Brentford match Livramento (knee) has not recovered fully and won't be available Tuesday against Brentford, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "We are looking from day to day, the first steps...
Impact Livramento appears close to a return, so he could be back for Saturday's trip to Wolves. However, due to Yan Valery's red card, Southampton don't have a set right-back for Tuesday's match, though Jack Stephens has played there before and is most likely to get the call.

Mohammed Salisu - Back from suspension Salisu is available for Tuesday's match against Brentford after serving his suspension.
Impact Salisu is available again Tuesday and is expected to move back into the starting XI. At full strength, the Saints have four quality center-backs with Salisu being at the top of the depth chart having started 17 matches this season after eight the prior campaign, his first following a move from Villarreal.

Che Adams - Available against Brentford Adams (COVID-19) is available for Tuesday's match against Brentford, confirmed manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact Adams will be available again Tuesday, though he's not expected to start after missing three of the last four matches completely. Prior to COVID-19, he had a hamstring injury, so his fitness probably isn't at a level where he'd start in his first match back.

Lyanco - Stays on bench in return Lyanco (COVID-19) stayed on the bench in Saturday's FA Cup win against Swansea.
Impact Lyanco is back from COVID-19, but he was relegated to the bench with Jack Stephens the preferred option. While he's seen some playing time the last couple months, the return of Stephens to the lineup may not be good for Lyanco's pitch time in the second half of the season.
JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Stephens - Returns in FA Cup win Stephens (COVID-19) started and went the full 90 in Saturday's FA Cup win against Swansea.
Impact Stephens is again an option for Southampton after missing the last three matches because of COVID-19. He hasn't been completely healthy since September, so it's unknown what kind of role he'll have the next few weeks, though he started the first five matches of the season.
JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Yann Valery - Sent off in FA Cup win Valery picked up two yellow cards in the first half and was sent off in Saturday's FA Cup win against Swansea.
Impact It wasn't a great day for Valery, who only made it 30 minutes because of two yellow cards. Unfortunately, this means he'll be suspended for league action, as well, with the next match being Tuesday against Brentford.
JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Theo Walcott - Receiving spot starts Walcott has started three matches since starting the first two matches of the season.
Impact Walcott isn't receiving regular minutes, but he'll get a start here and there and that probably won't change in the second half. More so, he's unlikely to go a full 90 while providing 1.43 shots and .24 chances created per 90 minutes.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
William Smallbone - Out with unknown injury Smallbone is expected to remain out with an undisclosed injury, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact Smallbone hasn't played in the last two contests since starting and going 70 minutes in his debut last month. it's unclear the injury, but his absence only adds to the other issues Southampton are dealing with from COVID-19 to injury.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Walker-Peters - Tests positive for COVID-19 Walker-Peters tested positive for COVID-19 and will likely miss the next week of matches, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact Walker-Peters is already suspended, so this adds on to his absence, as it doesn't seem like he'll be ready for the Jan. 11 league match. That being the case, Southampton may be forced to start both Yan Valery and Romain Perraud at full-back for upcoming matches.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Valentino Livramento - Still dealing with knee issue Livramento still has fluid in his knee and won't play in Saturday's FA Cup match, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact This update puts Livramento as a doubt for next week's league match, as it doesn't look like things have improved in the last week. Southampton changed things up in their last league match and if Livramento misses out again, there could be more changes again versus Brentford.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willy Caballero - Extends Southampton contract Caballero will stay with Southampton until the end of the season after extending his contract.
Impact Caballero only has two starts, but it looks like Alex McCarthy isn't ready to return just yet, which is why Caballero is staying on. For now, he'll be the backup to Fraser Forster unless needed again.
JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nathan Tella - Signs new Saints deal Tella has signed a new, three-and-a-half-year deal with Southampton, keeping him there until 2025.
Impact Tella appears on the edge of a breakout any time he can get on the pitch, but he's been unable to string together starts. He had seven starts from 18 appearances last season and has five starts in eight appearances of the current campaign with most of those coming in the past month. In his last four starts, he has nine shots and three chances created.
JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Stephens - Back in training Stephens (COVID-19) returned to training a week before the Jan. 11 contest against Brentford.
Impact Stephens should again be an option for the next match after missing the last three contests, two of them for a known COVID-19 issue. However, because of his knee injury, he has just one appearance since September, so he may take extra time to get back to fitness. When healthy, he started the first five matches this season.
JANUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lyanco - Returns to training Lyanco (COVID-19) returned to training a week before the Jan. 11 match against Brentford.
Impact Lyanco should again be an option when Southampton are back on the pitch after missing the last two matches. Prior to testing positive for COVID-19, he'd appeared in eight-straight matches, starting three of the last five, so he figures to find time going forward, as well.

Ibrahima Diallo - Creates three chances in draw Diallo created three chances and made five tackles (two won) during Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham.
Impact Diallo made his fifth start of the season and was very active on both ends, creating a lot for his teammates and providing some defensive support highlighted by a game-high five tackles. With several teammates injured or suspended, Diallo could be in contention for another start for Sunday's home match against Newcastle.
DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jan Bednarek - Makes 11 clearances in draw Bednarek made two tackles, 11 clearances, five interceptions and one block during Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham.
Impact Bednarek made an impressive job against Harry Kane and the rest of Tottenham attackers, putting up season highs in both clearances and interceptions and being a huge reason why the opposition could score only from the penalty spot. With 33 clearances, 11 interceptions and six blocks over his last four starts, the centre back will try to remain productive during Sunday's home match against Newcastle.
DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Fraser Forster - Makes 10 saves versus Tottenham Forster made 10 saves and conceded one goal during Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham.
Impact Forster made his second start of the season and had an outstanding performance, making several huge saves throughout the match and being beaten only by Harry Kane from the penalty spot in the 41st minute. With Alex McCarthy (hamstring) still out for a couple weeks, Forster will have another opportunity to show what he's capable of during Sunday's home match against Newcastle.
