Southampton have instructed their players to continue individual training programs at home.

Saints' Staplewood training facility will be without players due to the recent coronavirus outbreak.

A club statement read: "Following the government guidance issued on Monday evening, Ralph Hasenhüttl's squad have now been advised to follow individual fitness and conditioning programmes from home.

"Club medical and sports science staff will remain in regular contact with players and ensure they have the necessary equipment to maintain their fitness.

"Additionally, the club has advised all staff to work remotely where possible and will be limiting those on site at both St Mary's and the training complex to essential personnel only."
