Why Caspar Jander’s return could be just as big as Southampton’s Cyle Larin boost

Saints Marching argues that midfielder Caspar Jander's return from injury could be as impactful for Southampton as striker Cyle Larin's comeback. Manager Tonda Eckert expects both players to be available for the upcoming Championship fixture against Derby County following the international break. Larin missed four consecutive matches with a hamstring issue, during which Southampton dropped points against West Bromwich Albion and Preston North End.

Writer Kelan Sarson highlights Jander's dynamic midfield presence, noting the German has recorded three wins in his three appearances this season. The £10.4m signing reportedly clocked a speed of 36km/h against West Ham United earlier this campaign, which the writer believes provides crucial pace and forward drive that teammates Flynn Downes and James Ward-Prowse typically lack.
