Southampton to check on Bertrand for Bournemouth clash

Southampton will check on defender Ryan Bertrand (ankle) ahead of the Premier League match against Bournemouth.

Midfielder Stuart Armstrong (hamstring) also faces a fitness test, but Jannik Vestergaard (groin) remains unavailable.

Full-back Matt Targett has resumed full training following muscular fatigue, so could return to the squad. Forward Michael Obafemi (hamstring) continues his rehabilitation.

Bournemouth will be short of options at right-back against Southampton with Junior Stanislas and Adam Smith both ruled out.

Stanislas is facing three to four months on the sidelines following an operation on his hamstring, having stepped in out of position last week after Bournemouth lost Smith in the warm-up.

Nathaniel Clyne continues to be hampered by a hamstring problem and fellow full-backs Diego Rico (ankle) and Charlie Daniels (knee) and midfielder Andrew Surman (calf) remain out. Simon Francis and Lewis Cook (both knee ligaments) are long-term absentees.
