Ralph Hasenhuttl revealed on Wednesday that Southampton are set to be without Danny Ings for between four and six weeks.

Ings has been in stunning form so far this campaign, scoring five goals in his first seven matches in the Premier League – that comes after he netted 22 in 38 last term. As a result, the Saints have marched up the table, winning four of their last five games in the league, drawing the other one.
The England international picked up an injury against Aston Villa, though, and during his pre-match press conference prior to the clash against Newcastle, Hasenhuttl confirmed that the issue is worse than he thought and as such, Ings will not be available this weekend.

Oh that’s depressing. Fingers crossed the surgery goes well and he will be back for the Christmas fixtures.

and that’s exactly why you can’t rely on ‘initial scans’ telling you the teue picture as the swelling can hide so much. A huge blow for the club but an opportunity for Adams, Walcott, Long or Obafemi to step up. #saintsfc https://t.co/SQo1qGArdN
