Southampton are set to be without three players for Monday's huge relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest.
The Reds go into the clash at the City Ground looking to bounce back from last weekend's agonising 2-1 defeat at Brentford. They will be buoyed by their last result at home having beaten Brighton 3-1.
Steve Cooper's side sit in the relegation zone on goal difference whilst their opponents on Monday are six points from safety with Ruben Selles' team without a win since beating Leicester City on March 4

And Southampton have a number of injury concerns for the game against Forest. Defender Romain Perraud is out for the rest of the season with an ankle/foot injury.
Mohammed Salisu will also be missing from the Saints back four due to a pelvic bone problem. Juan Larios is also set to miss the clash at the City Ground with a thigh injury.
Elsewhere, forward Ebere Paul Onuachu missed the Newcastle match with a knee injury and is currently being assessed as to whether he will play on Monday. Tino Livramento is also currently being assessed as he continues his recovery from a long-term ACL injury.
