With Southampton next facing Chelsea in the Premier League, there is optimism amongst supporters that the Saints can get a result, yet a training photo has brought some cause for concern.

An image tweeted from the club’s official Twitter account showed the likes of Kevin Danso and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg training hard, with some supporters on social media worried that the duo might be worn out for the vital game against Frank Lampard’s Blues on Sunday, where fans will be hoping for three points against the west London side.
Here is what some concerned Saints fans had to say on Twitter about the photo…

With the Saints losing to Spurs last weekend, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side will be eager to return to winning ways against Chelsea, who played a midweek Champions League match away in France at Lille.
