Although officially yet to be confirmed, it appears unlikely that Flynn Downes will make Southampton's trip to West Ham United on Saturday.
Dan Hargraves argues that Southampton midfielder Caspar Jander must make his first start of the season against West Ham United on Saturday. Key midfielder Flynn Downes appears unlikely to play after missing recent training, with manager Tonda Eckert expected to deliver an official injury update during Friday's press conference following their draw against Bolton Wanderers.
Jander recently returned from a three-month absence caused by a pre-season quad injury. After notable substitute appearances against Portsmouth and Norwich City, Hargraves contends the 23-year-old German midfielder is now rested and serves as an ideal replacement for Downes.
