BOSS Ralph Hasenhuttl confirmed midfielder Stuart Armstrong was still not back in training with Saints due to a calf problem.
The Scotland international, who has been plagued by calf injuries this campaign, has missed the St Mary’s side’s past two games against Norwich and Liverpool.
Asked for his team news ahead of Wednesday’s home clash with Leicester City, the Austrian boss said: “At the moment, as of today I had 21 players on the pitch working with us.
“It was only Stuey who was not part of the squad. Jack Stephens is back and all the other players.
“Thierry Small played with the under-23s, so he was not with us but the rest were with us.”
Moi Elyounoussi missed Saturday’s trip to Anfield with his wife expecting to give birth, while Ibrahima Diallo was an unused substitute after struggling with an ankle problem.
But Hasenhuttl’s update indicates the duo will be set to take on Brendan Rodgers’s Foxes.
