Southampton Still Have Injury Issues For Chelsea Game Thursday, 18th Feb 2021 14:51 Saints have no new injury concerns sustained since the defeat to Wolves, but they will be without three key players with Ralph Hasenhuttl needing to reshuffle his back four once again. Kyle Walker Peters will miss the game against Chelsea and a few games after, meaning that Ralph Hasenhuttl has to make a decision who will play at right back. "Still not very happy about what's going on with our injuries," "Kyle Walker-Peters is out for a few weeks, maybe, and that definitely hurts us. He was a big part of our good run and when he was not there we've had a worse run. It's a never-ending story of this season, players getting injured. "With Ibra [Diallo] and Theo Walcott too, we're missing three important players for our game. We have to trust the players we do have available. "The first win after such a run is always the most difficult, but the most important, and one we're fighting for." The Austrian could stick with a back four and play Jack Stephens in the right back position, or alternatively he could play Jan Bednarek there with Mohammed Salisu coming in. Also he could revert to a back three with Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Bertrand as wing backs. The bad news is we could do with Walker Peters, the good news is we do have options.
