Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu admits he's missing the fans.

The Spanish star struck home a sensational volley at home against West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, paving the way for the St Mary's side to seal a 2-0 victory.

But he said: “It becomes less emotional I would say.

“When some games are really nice to play because the last 20 or 30 minutes, the fans really pushed you or they really helped you to get there or to get that extra energy that you didn't have in your legs, that's not there anymore.

“It's something that's going to change of course and it's not nice but hopefully it is for the better in six months and we have to wait.

“We will have to see how things go and how we develop everything, we get everything under control.

“But we as players, we'd love to have fans back as soon as possible."
