Southampton’s injury problems this season have been well documented and fitness issues have really held back Ralph Hasenhuttl and his side recently. Three more players picked up problems in Saints’ defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday too – Theo Walcott, Ibrahima Diallo and Oriol Romeu all hobbling off in the second-half. Hasenhuttl provided updates post-match when speaking to the media and said (via Hampshire Live):“No, they are not okay. We must have a look. Theo is serious, I think. Diallo, also. Oriol, we do not know.” To truly set out how this rotten luck has affected the club in 2020/21, we…

But the Reds suffered a second in the second half as Williams was taken off on a stretcher after a scramble in the penalty area.

The highly-rated full-back was forced from the field during the Saints’ Premier League outing at the Amex Stadium Tino Livramento has earned plenty of plaudits since joining Southampton in the summer of 2021, with links to Manchester United being made alongside talk of Chelsea triggering a buy-back clause, but the talented defender is facing up to a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a “very serious” injury. The 19-year-old full-back required oxygen on the field before being stretchered off during the first half of a Premier League outing against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Livramento lasted just 36 minutes of a 2-2…
Jude Bellingham added to the sea of sympathetic and supportive messages sent to Tino Livramento following his devastating injury update. Yesterday, Southampton confirmed their young defender had suffered cruciate ligament damage in the previous game against Brighton & Hove Albion. ACL, three letters that strikes fear into the hearts of any footballer. Reading that usually means the end of the road for the unfortunate causality. ACL upset for Tino Livramento will more than likely not feature again until at least next season, a heartbreaking end to what had otherwise been a brilliant debut Premier League campaign. He made the bold move to leave…
It may “only” be the cup, which is by no means an attempt to denigrate the competition, but a win to get up and running for the season was very much what the doctor ordered.More than anything, the fixture list has caused difficulties for the season’s beginning, with opening matches against two teams participating in Europe this year—Manchester City and Aston Villa—and this weekend’s revitalized Spurs under Ange Postecoglu. Thus, as the Clarets attempt to regain their footing in the top flight, being able to get that monkey off their back in their third match of the season should help…

Ross Stewart’s summertime sale by Sunderland was the “right” move. Kristjaan Speakman stated that he has no regrets about offloading the striker after receiving a “good offer” during the Red & White Army Q&A session. In 2021, Ross Stewart left Ross County to join Sunderland for a fee of less than £3,000,000. Charlie Wyke was the Scot’s backup at first, but Stewart took over after his old teammate moved to Wigan Athletic. With an amazing 26 goals in 49 games, the “important” 27-year-old was a major factor in Sunderland’s promotion to the Championship. Stewart’s form continued into the second tier,…
Although Duje Caleta-Car was supposed to bolster the Saints’ defense, he performed anything but that in the previous campaign. Gao Jisheng decided after four and a half years at the club that he would sell his 80 percent of the Saints for the right price. Solak and his Sport Republic group agreed to a £100 million deal, which represented a loss of £110 million over what the Chinese businessman had paid in 2017. Sport Republic’s first opportunity to turn things around and move the south coast club up the Premier League table came in the summer of 2022, but their…
