Nathan Redmond - Available against Liverpool Redmond is available for Saturday's trip to Liverpool after observing the birth of his son last weekend.

Impact Redmond could make an immediate return to the XI Saturday, as he's been one of the team's better players this season. Prior to the break, he was on seven-straight starts and will likely get the call against Liverpool, albeit in a matchup that won't produce a ton of fantasy value.

Stuart Armstrong - Ruled out against Reds Armstrong (calf) will be sidelined for Saturday's trip to Liverpool after manager Ralph Hasenhuttl told reporters, "Stu is out with a calf injury."

Impact It will be the second extended absence for Armstrong this season after he missed five matches at the start of the year. Even prior to getting hurt, the midfielder made just one start in four outings and may struggle to break into the starting XI even once given the all-clear.

Jack Stephens - Unlikely to play Saturday Stephens (knee) is doubtful to get onto the pitch against Liverpool on Saturday. Manager Ralph Hasen Hasenhuttl told reporters, "Jack is back in training which is the first week in...

Impact The fact that Stephens is training and is even in consideration versus Liverpool is certainly a significant step in his recovery. Even if the defender is named to the match-day squad, he will likely be held in reserve for a week or two given his lengthy injury absence but should factor into the starting XI once back up to full match fitness.

Jack Stephens - Returns to training Stephens (knee) returned to training with Southampton on Tuesday.

Impact Stephens has missed the last two months since suffering a knee injury against Man City on Sept. 18, but he is getting closer to his return.

Adam Armstrong - Provides assist versus Norwich Armstrong provided one assist, took four shots (one on target), created two chances, delivered two crosses and made one clearance in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Norwich.

Impact Armstrong had a positive offensive outing as he collected one assist to open the scoring early in the first half. The striker has now registered one goal and two assists in his last three appearances, along with racking up 12 shots, four chances created and four crosses in the same time span.

Che Adams - Scores in loss Adams scored one goal on two shots on target, created one chance and delivered one cross in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Norwich.

Impact Adams had a great offensive outing as he found the back of the net but it was not enough to help his side take home at least one points. The striker has now registered two goals in his last three appearances, along with producing six shots, three chances created and two crosses. He will look for another strong performance Saturday versus Liverpool.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Delivers 10 crosses in loss Ward-Prowse took two shots (one on target), created five chances, delivered 10 crosses, made one interception and drew one foul in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Norwich.

Impact Ward-Prowse was not able to find the back of the net but he still managed to rack up offensive stats due to his role on set pieces. The midfielder has registered one goal in his last four appearances, along with producing five shots, 10 chances created and 38 crosses in the same time span.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alex McCarthy - Allows two goals versus Norwich McCarthy made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Norwich.

Impact McCarthy had a poor outing as he conceded two goals, which cost his side to lose the game. The keeper has now registered two clean sheets in his last three appearances, along with producing eight saves and allowed two goals in the same time span. He will try to bounce back Saturday versus Liverpool.

Moussa Djenepo - Misses Norwich match Djenepo missed Saturday's match against Norwich City because of some "private issues," according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Djepeno hasn't played the last four matches and this is the first time Hasenhuttl has mentioned a possible issue. He started the first four matches of the season, but Mohamed Elyounoussi quickly took that role and Djenepo has rarely played since.

Stuart Armstrong - Not in squad against Norwich Armstrong wasn't in the squad for Saturday's match against Norwich because of a calf issue, reports Tom Leach of football.london.

Impact Armstrong suffered a calf issue during the international break, possibly related to the one he had the prior two months. More information will hopefully come out this week, but it's yet another issue that's forced him to make just four appearances this season after 32 last campaign.

Nathan Redmond - Out following son's birth Redmond is not in the team for Saturday's match against Norwich following the birth of his child.

Impact Redmond would've likely featured Saturday, but it looks like his son came earlier in the morning, so he's not in the squad. Southampton surprisingly changed their look for the game against Norwich in what looks to be a 4-3-3 formation despite having able wingers to take Redmond's spot.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Valentino Livramento - Available to face Norwich Livramento (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's match against Norwich City, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Livramento didn't take part in matches with the England U21s over the break, but it looks like he's already training and ready to go for Southampton. He's played all but four minutes at right-back this season and that's expected to remain the case as long as he's healthy.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Armando Broja - Ready for Saturday Broja (ankle) has returned to training and is available for Saturday's trip to Norwich City, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact It's a good sign for Broja, who missed matches over the break with an ankle issue suffered at the end of October. While healthy again, it looks like he'll have to win back a spot in the starting XI with Che Adams and Adam Armstrong again the preferred options when healthy.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Available against Norwich Ward-Prowse (illness) is available for Saturday's match against Norwich City, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Ward-Prowse will be available as expected Saturday after missing out on England national team matches with an illness. He's expected to continue his excellent form in a favorable spot against Norwich, who will be in their first match under new manager Dean Smith.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nathan Redmond - Ready for Norwich trip Redmond (COVID-19) has returned to training and is available for Saturday's trip to Norwich City, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Redmond missed the match before the break with COVID-19, but he's recovered and ready to go again. It's assumed he'll resume his role in the starting XI, but with a healthy Stuart Armstrong available, nothing is guaranteed for the outside midfielders.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Training after illness Ward-Prowse (illness) was pictured training on Wednesday ahead of Saturday's trip to Norwich City.

Impact Ward-Prowse withdrew from the national team for an illness almost 10 days ago, so it's not surprising that he's training and seemingly ready to start after the break. He's back to normal following his suspension, producing five chances from 26 crosses (18 corners) the last two matches.

NOVEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nathan Redmond - Pictured in training Redmond (COVID-19) was pictured in training Tuesday, according to Tom Leach of football.london.

Impact Redmond looks to be over COVID-19 and should be an option to start Saturday. Stuart Armstrong came into the XI before the break and will now contend for starts. Prior to COVID-19, Redmond had started seven-straight contests for Southampton.

NOVEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Valentino Livramento - Back in training Livramento (undisclosed) was pictured in training Tuesday, according to Tom Leach of football.london.

Impact Livramento didn't play with the England U21s over the break because of injury, but it wasn't believed to be serious. For now, it looks like he'll be ready to start Saturday and manager Ralph Hasenhuttl will likely confirm that in the coming days.

Armando Broja - Getting treatment for ankle Broja has returned from international duty to get treatment on his ankle.

Impact Broja missed the first match of the break and his return to Southampton isn't too surprising. The forward went nine minutes in the prior league match, returning from the original ankle injury and that probably wasn't a good idea. Now, he'll have almost two weeks of recovery ahead of Saturday's trip to Norwich.
