Lallana set for Saints return

11 February 2011 11:30
Adam Lallana is in line to return to the Southampton squad for the visit of Carlisle. The midfielder has been missing for a month with a knee injury but is back in full training and should be involved. Veteran striker David Connolly is also fit after a hernia operation and could be on the bench, but midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is still missing with the calf injury which kept him out of last week's 4-4 draw at Peterborough. Captain Dean Hammond returned from a spell out with a calf problem against Posh and came through unscathed so he will partner Richard Chaplow in the centre of midfield again. Winger Lee Holmes is a long-term absentee and will not play again this season after an ankle operation.
