Ralph Hasnhuttl confirmed earlier today via the club’s official website that the attacker could miss out of tomorrow’s must-win game against Norwich City due to Boufal’s toe injury worsening over the week, meaning that the former Lille star could be out for Southampton’s clash against the Canaries.
Are Southampton doing enough behind-the-scenes?
Yes, they're making the right steps
No, more drastic action needs to be done
Boufal starred in Southampton’s 2-1 win over Watford on Saturday, and supporters on social media were gutted that the winger might be out for what could potentially be the club’s most important game of the season so far.

People always say he’s better off the bench but I can’t recall him ever starting more than 2 games in a row still don’t feel he’s been given a proper chance.

A win against Norwich could potentially see Southampton climb out of the relegation zone should results in the week also go the Saints way.
