St Mary’s Stadium will host the South Coast meeting of Southampton and AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League at 8pm on Friday evening.
The hosts include Shane Long in their matchday squad but Michael Obafemi remains on the casualty list.
Our Senior international goalkeeping debutant Mark Travers has not yet been selected in the visitors matchday squad, with the same fate befalling Ireland U21 midfielder Gavin Kilkenny who scored a midweek hat-trick for the ‘Cherries’ U21 side against Basingstoke in the Hampshire Senior Cup.
