Let's put his leg in a sling....that will keep pesky poachers away....before we reveal him in his full glory for the Swansea game.
Mauricio about VVD and his fitness. Van Dijk has been held back from some of the drills, though, and Pellegrino explained they need to reintroduce him to full contact situations gradually. "He is ok. He was doing 80 per cent of the job in the training sessions,” said the Saints boss of the team captain. “We were leaving him outside some exercises for medical prevention. We know he has got an injury where we have to avoid the contact, and just for this reason we leave him outside, but little by little he is increasing the intensity and he is working in a good way.”
I'm beginning to wonder if we could get 70m From the scousers and then he gets crunched. I wouldn't wish injury on a player, however the meltdown in liverpool would be immense.
Will be interesting to see how that teams does...not that you can really judge from a friendly. I'm guessing everyone will swap in the 2nd half.

What don't you like about it? The mainly white back took all of 2 minutes for me to get used to and I thought that I'd miss the stripes but I really, really like it now that I've seen it "in use".
