Two of Southampton’s key men look set to miss the trip to the Amex.

Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and defender Jan Bednarek will be out several weeks after sustaining injuries during the international break.

The pair had played every minute in the Premier League this season but Ramsdale left England’s camp before their Nations League fixtures and has had surgery on a finger injury.

Bednarek was forced off with a knee issue at half-time of Poland’s defeat to Portugal last Friday.

Saints boss Russell Martin said: “They’ll both be out for this weekend and a number of weeks.

“Aaron has had an operation on his finger, he’ll hopefully be back this side of Christmas.

“Janny B, we spoke really quickly after the game. He was really worried about his knee injury.

“Thankfully the injury is not as significant as we fear, hopefully a week or two before Aaron.”

Southampton visit the Amex a week tomorrow.

“They’ve been two of our best players all season. Of course it will affect the team and how it looks but others need to step in and take their opportunity.”
