Kieran Tierney, who has been fine form in recent weeks, is also a doubt for the match at St Mary's, having also missed the FA Cup tie on Saturday.

Spanish pair Pablo Mari and Dani Ceballos remain sidelined, though could return to the fold in the coming days.
Arsenal are two points behind Southampton in the Premier League table and were on a six-match unbeaten run before losing at the weekend.
