Migration/71730006232

Ralph Hasenhüttl has confirmed that Southampton have a complete squad to select from against Manchester City this weekend, aside from longer-term absentees Tino Livramento and Will Smallbone.

Both players are continuing to work on their respective rehab programmes at Staplewood and won't be available for Saturday, while others have served their Covid-19 isolation periods and can offer further options in attack.

Moi Elyounoussi and Theo Walcott are back in contention, while Kyle Walker-Peters returned to the bench for last week's Premier League outing at Wolves. Alex McCarthy has resumed full training but won't be considered for Saturday.

"Tino [Livramento] and Will Smallbone are the guys [who are out]," Hasenhüttl said.

"Some coming back after the Covid-19 quarantine. Back in training. So in the moment we have 20 outfield players training, I think."
