Suggests a bit more involvement which makes sense with the new substitution rules. Not sure yet if we’re planning a change in formation, but he might be encouraged to play further up the pitch.
From what Ive seen of this kid in training hes got something special. If he holds the line he could come through and be a real player.
Official: Southampton will face RB Leipzig in a pre-season friendly on July 16, at Lavanttal-Arena, with kick-off at 1pm BST #saintsfc
Not gospel, an educated guess, but I think Saints are flying to Klagenfurt from Hurn in flight ANE1631 which is EC-MTZ a CRJ-100 business jet departing around 11:20.
Courtesy of the OS... The 26 players travelling are: Alex McCarthy Willy Caballero Gavin Bazunu Mateusz Lis Kyle Walker-Peters Yan Valery Thierry Small Mohammed Salisu Armel Bella-Kotchap Jan Bednarek Jack Stephens Lyanco Dynel Simeu James Ward-Prowse Ibrahima Diallo Oriol Romeu Roméo Lavia Joe Aribo Will Smallbone Stuart Armstrong Diamond Edwards Moussa Djenepo Mohamed Elyounoussi Nathan Tella Adam Armstrong Ché Adams Romain Perraud, Theo Walcott and Nathan Redmond have remained at Staplewood to continue work to be 100 per cent fit for selection. All three are expected to be fit to rejoin training when the team returns on Wednesday 20th July.
That is a wildly lopsided squad of players. 4 x GK 3 x FB 6 x CB 11 x Midfield (if counting Tella) 2 x Strikers.
Three main take-outs from that. 1 - Ayrton Procter is an unlikely name 2 - MAYA IS COMING TO VISIT 3 - There was still a name-tag with Long behind Ralph. Poor Shane...
