Southampton crock Rodriguez amazed by fans' support

Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez is amazed by the support he's received after his knee injury setback.

The forward suffered a rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament during last Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Manchester City, meaning he will be sidelined for about six months.

Rodriguez's agent, Gary Mellor, said: "He is in excellent spirits considering the circumstances and is determined to come back stronger for club and country.

"He is overwhelmed by all the messages of support he has received from fellow professionals and fans."
