Saints manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed the status of Jay Rodriguez injury schedule as well as updates on the other longer term injuries.

Ronald Koeman has confirmed that Jay Rodriguez should be ready for a return to full training in as little as three weeks if things go to schedule.

Rodriguez has had a tough time of late and it has been a set back to him mentally as well as physically to pick up another injury after being out for so long with his knee problem sustained in April 2014, but at least it looks like he has a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Speaking at this afternoons press conference Koeman said.

No more (injuries) than last week.

“Fraser (Forster) is back in some sessions last week, but needs still more time to be ready.

“(Florin) Gardos is still injured and Jay.

“Jay is recovering from the surgery, and will take more like three or four weeks that he will be full in training.

“The rest is ok.”
