Thomas-Moore could return for Tranmere

Tranmere striker Ian to action when his injury-hit side make the trip Southampton. Thomas-Moore has missed the last two games with a thigh injury sustained late in the game at Colchester but he returned to training on Thursday.

Veteran defender Ian Goodison is unavailable while he serves a one-match ban for collecting five yellow cards, so Nick Wood will come into the side for his fifth start of the season.

However, boss Les Parry could again be without the likes of Gunnar Nielsen, Marlon Broomes, Ash Taylor, Liam Darville and Alan Mahon, who are all nursing injuries.

Parry - whose side currently lie in the relegation zone - said: "The only player who has a chance of coming back into the squad is Ian."
