Mark Hughes has received some good news on Wednesday as Stuart Armstrong and Alex McCarthy are expected to be fit for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.
The Saints will make the short trip along the south coast to Dean's Court desperately in need of a win.
After eight games, Southampton are just two points from the drop zone having won just once this season.
However, Sky Sports has revealed starting goalkeeper McCarthy and Armstrong will be ready to face the high-flying Cherries.
