Ronald Koeman says two of his key Southampton players will be right to take their place in the squad this weekend.

Defender Virgil van Dijk and striker Shane Long both picked up injuries on international duty but have been passed fit to take on Stoke City at home on Saturday.

Van Dijk withdrew from the Holland squad after pulling up with a sore knee from Friday's win over Wales while Long suffered an ankle problem in the Republic of Ireland's triumph over Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Koeman said: "Everybody is back and everybody is available for the weekend.

"Of course, some players after a long journey back they're still tired today, but it's still not Saturday and the players will be OK for the weekend.

"He [Van Dijk] had some knee problems, but he had a good treatment after the Friday game against Wales and he was very soon back in Southampton to work hard to be fit for the weekend and he did a normal training session today."
