Southampton defender Keven Schlotterbeck is expected to be out for up to six weeks after he dislocated his shoulder at Preston North End, the Daily Echo understands.
Southampton defender Keven Schlotterbeck is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks after dislocating his shoulder against Preston North End. The 29-year-old was forced off inside the opening 10 minutes of Southampton's 1-0 defeat last Saturday. However, if his recovery progresses smoothly, the German centre-back could potentially return within four weeks.
Schlotterbeck is set to miss an upcoming match against promotion rivals Middlesbrough following the international break. Southampton next host Derby County on November 21 before facing Sheffield United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Nottingham Forest loanee Zach Abbott replaced him during the Preston match, while Nathan Wood remains omitted for selection reasons.
