Lallana to return to Saints XI

21 February 2011 12:30
Adam Lallana is expected to return to the Southampton starting line-up for the trip to Hartlepool. Lallana made his comeback following a month on the sidelines with a knee injury as a second-half substitute against Carlisle last weekend. Fellow midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has missed the last two games with a calf injury and is not expected to be risked despite some extra time to recover after Saturday's trip to Rochdale was postponed. Striker David Connolly could be added to the bench following a recent hernia operation, but winger Lee Holmes is still out after ankle surgery. Rookie Arsenal goalkeeper James Shea signed on loan last week following an injury to Bartosz Bialkowski and will be on the bench as cover for Kelvin Davis.
