Sadio Mane is preparing for his debut with Southampton.

Having now received his work permit, Southampton boss Ronald Koeman will assess the 22-year-old's physical state before determining if the winger can feature against Arsenal in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday evening.

Mane, Southampton's second most expensive signing ever, hasn't played competitively since August 23 for Salzburg and might need time on the training pitch to regain full fitness.
