Southampton were dealt a real blow in their 2-1 loss to Wolves on Sunday when vital player Kyle Walker-Peters limped off with a hamstring injury.

The 23-year-old only returned to action in the FA Cup in midweek and is now set for a significant period of time on the sidelines once again.

This is a particular issue for Saints given that he is their only senior right-back after the loan departure of Yan Valery to Birmingham City in the January transfer window.

With games against Chelsea and Leeds coming up in quick succession, who will replace Walker-Peters in the starting line-up?
