Che Adams
Ralph Hasenhuttl revealed frontman Che Adams was forced off against Leeds United at St Mary’s due to a slight injury. Asked about replacing Adams at the break,
Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “It was a little bit of a groin problem. He gave us the signal that he could not go on. I think he was also tired. Saturday-Tuesday and, again, against a team that is physically very strong.”
Adams has played 45 times for club and country this season, scoring 10 goals. The Scotland international was replaced by Danny Ings at the interval, despite fashioning a couple of chances against Marcelo Bielsa’s side. The former Birmingham frontman twice worked keeper Kiko Casilla in front of the returning 8,000 Saints supporters before having to be replaced. Saints went on to lose 2-0 with Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts on target for the visitors in the second half.
