Southampton will still be without Danny Ings for this weekend’s visit of Spurs, with the striker still out with injury.
Saints boss Ralph Hassenhuttl confirmed the news ahead of the matchup with Tottenham.
Ings has been out of action since the 2nd February after picking up a hamstring injury in the draw with Burnley.

The striker has yet to return to first team training, and Hasenhuttl revealed they are targeting the end of March for Ings return.
Hassenhuttl said, via Sky Sports:
No, he is not in the group at the moment, we have not taken any risks. We want to give him the time to come back in this three-week break we have after the Tottenham game.
We have one friendly game against a Championship team and then maybe he can get 45 minutes to build him up for the games that are coming up then because they are very important.
Ings has been crucial for Saints since making the move from Liverpool, and Ralph Hassenhuttl’s side have struggled without the forward.
