Austin, Long out for Southampton

Southampton will be without strikers Charlie Austin and Shane Long for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Sunderland.

Both suffered injuries during Tuesday's defeat to Bournemouth and Austin (hamstring) has been ruled out for up to four weeks while Long (knee) is also absent for Sunderland's visit, although he is expected to be available to face Stoke next weekend.

Saints manager Ronald Koeman is still without injured duo Jay Rodriguez (ankle) and Florin Gardos (knee).

Provisional squad: Forster, Stekelenburg, Gazzaniga, K Davis, Martina, Van Dijk, Fonte, Yoshida, Soares, Bertrand, Clasie, Targett, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, S Davis, Tadic, Mane, Juanmi.
