Wanyama Goes Off At Ipswich With Hamstring Injury
Saints injury woes continued as Victor Wanyama pulled up in first half injury time and had to be replaced.
There seemed to be no problems as Wanyama chased down a ball going back to the Ipswich keeper former Saint Bart Bialkowski , but suddenly Wanyama pulled up clutching his hamstring.
The good thing is he stopped quickly and went down and made no attempt to try to play on and aggravate it, but the fact is he looks set to join Toby Alderweireld on the touchline for a while.
Saints injury woes of late have been a lot more than they could expect with Morgan Schneiderlin also missing the Ipswich replay with a groin strain, hopefully he will be back for Saturday.
