Elyounoussi and Gabbiadini return to training

Southampton duo Mohamed Elyounoussi and Manolo Gabbiadini could be about to hand Mark Hughes a major fitness boost ahead of their game against Wolves this weekend.

Radio Solent’s Adam Blackmore reports that both players returned to training ahead of this weekend’s clash and could be involved in the squad.

Neither player was involved during the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool last time around, but Hughes will be hoping for a more positive result against the newly-promoted side on Saturday.

A hamstring injury kept the Italian out of the game at Anfield, while Elyounoussi also suffered a knock.

Southampton could move within one point of Wolves with three points on Saturday, with the Saints in desperate need of a good result to lift the spirits around the club.

However, it is not all good news for Hughes, with striker Shane Long considered as a doubt for the game with a toe injury.
