Southampton vs Liverpool - Southampton have no new injury worries ahead of Liverpool clash

Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino reported no fresh injury problems ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match against Liverpool.

Striker Manolo Gabbiadini had been carrying a hip problem last weekend against West Brom, where the Italian was an unused substitute in the 3-2 away win.

Charlie Austin, though, remains out as the forward continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk is expected to start on his first return to Southampton since his £75million January move.

Fellow defenders Ragnar Klavan and Alberto Moreno have recovered from muscle injuries to take their places in the squad.

Right-back Joe Gomez is unlikely to feature because of a minor knee problem while midfielder Adam Lallana returns after a thigh problem.
