Southampton striker Shane Long has been ruled out for six weeks with a punctured lung.
The Mirror says Long has dealt Southampton's Champions League qualification hopes a blow after being ruled out for six weeks with two broken ribs and a punctured lung.
Long suffered the injuries after colliding Crystal Palace's Joel Ward during Saints' 3-2 FA Cup fourth round defeat on Saturday.
