Early reports suggest that Danny Ings has had the scan on his knee injury and that there is no serious damage, which is good news, but the big question is how long he is likely to be out for ?
Various media outlets although nothing from Southampton Football Club yet, suggest that the scan on Danny Ings knee shows no serious damage, they also report that it is expected that he will be ok and fit to return to the side a lot earlier than first thought.
The Saints medical team are currently assessing and monitoring the situation, but it seems that it is relief all around with special care taken due to his history of knee injuries.
However as of yet there is no indication of how long he is likely to be out, even if it is not as serious as thought, it is highly unlikely that he would be risked in any capacity on Friday evening with a two week International break straight after.
It would be silly to risk aggravating it for one game when he can have a three week straight rest and recuperate fully and potentially only miss one game in doing so.
Even one game will be a blow for Saints, but with the emergence of Che Adams we are no longer a one man strike force and we have others who can step up to the plate.
But in the meantime it is good news, we will now have to wait how it pans out over the next few days as it settles down.
