Steven Davis Only Fresh Injury Concern
Saints appear to have only one new injury concern ahead of the vital game on Merseyside against Everton at Goodison Park.
Steven Davis seems to be the only Saints player returning from International duty with an injury concern, the Northern Ireland midfielder returned with a groin injury and is being assessed by the club's medical staff as to whether he will be fit enough to face the Toffee's.
If Davis does fail to pass muster at least Saints will have a plethora of central midfielders to call upon and it could be that it will give a opportunity for James Ward Prowse to build on his momentum after scoring the winner for England U21's in midweek.
