Kyle Walker-Peters is set for an extended spell out with a hamstring problem, according to Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, who has vented his frustration at the 'never-ending story' of injuries facing the club.
Walker-Peters was forced off during the 2-1 Premier League defeat by Wolves, having only just returned from a thigh injury.
The 23-year-old had missed Southampton's previous four league games - all defeats - before picking up the latest knock on Sunday.
Hasenhuttl is now left with a selection concern at right-back, with midfielder James Ward-Prowse having dropped into defence during the closing stages of the Wolves match.
