James Ward-Prowse has returned to training at Southampton.

Ward-Prowse has been missing due to a fractured foot since September, 20 when the 20-year-old limped out of Saints' 1-0 win at Swansea in the Premier League.

The Daily Echo says while there is no news on an exact time of his return to full match action, it will bring relief to the St Mary's camp, which has been hit by a string of injuries in recent weeks, to see him back training with team-mates at Staplewood.
