Southampton: Midfielder Romeo Lavia set to be out for at least six weeks with hamstring injury

Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia is set to be out for at least six weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Chelsea.

Lavia has started all five Premier League games for Saints since joining from Manchester City this summer.

"Romeo is injured now, but has shown he can be a massive part of our game," said manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

"He will be out for longer - how long we will see, but I expect minimum six weeks."

Lavia was one of 10 summer signings for Saints, with four deals completed on deadline day on Thursday.
