Russell Martin talks Suspensions & identifying ways to play without key players as Southampton continues to remain in relegation

Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Flynn Downes and Tyler Dibling picked up a one-game ban during Southampton's 1-1 draw with Brighton by virtue of accumulating five yellow cards. Martin will have to make do against the trio of key players when they welcome Enzo Maresca's Chelsea to St Mary's. Asked about losing Downes, Dibling and Harwood-Bellis, Martin said: "I think the frustrating thing for us is a couple of them are for dissent and stuff on the pitch, which shouldn't happen. "If they are good fouls and good yellow cards for the team, which Tyler Dibling's was, then you can accept it. "We asked for more aggression and we got that. It’s going to be tough (without them). "We will have to find a solution and shuffle the pack. We’ve been without Adam and Janny B, they are big players for us. “I thought the subs that came on did very well. It’s an opportunity for other people but of course, we will miss them.” Martin will not be able to replace Downes with Lesley Ugochukwu as the Frenchman is ineligible against his parent club. Alex McCarthy and Paul Onuachu are also doubts after the pair played no part at Amex Stadium on Friday evening.
