Southampton vs Tottenham - Maya Yoshida faces race against time ahead of Tottenham clash

Maya Yoshida is facing an uphill struggle to be fit in time for Southampton’s Premier League clash with Tottenham on Sunday.

The Japan defender will undergo a late fitness test ahead of the St Mary’s encounter, as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Charlie Austin remains sidelined with a long-term hamstring problem, but otherwise boss Maurico Pellegrino can select from strength.

Tottenham are sweating on the fitness of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris ahead of the trip to the south coast.

Lloris is suffering from flu and will be assessed, with Michel Vorm ready to step in.

Toby Alderweireld (hamstring), Danny Rose (knee) and Harry Winks (ankle) are all still out.
