Southampton star being assessed ahead of Norwich game

Southampton boss Tonda Eckert says Cyle Larin will be assessed before a decision is made on how much he can feature against Norwich City.

The Canada international returned from international duty with a back issue but featured in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Portsmouth.

Larin played 72 minutes at St Mary’s, with Eckert now set to consult the club’s medical staff before deciding his involvement in the next game.

“Obviously, we know about Cyle coming back from Canada,” Eckert said.

“He did everything in the week to make sure that he’s ready for the game Sunday.

“I think he’s worked a lot for the team, so we’ll assess him.

“We need to liaise now with the medical team to see where they’re at, and then we’ll make a decision on the team.”
