Southampton v Newcastle United team news: Seven out and two doubts for Carabao Cup semi-final - gallery
Newcastle United visit Southampton in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg tonight - here is the latest injury news.
It’s Newcastle’s first major semi-final in 18 years as they travel to St Mary’s looking to continue their solid run of form against Premier League opposition. Eddie Howe’s side haven’t lost to a top flight side since August.
They face a Southampton side who knocked out Manchester City in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win. The previous meeting between the sides saw The Magpies claim a 4-1 win at St Mary’s back in November.
The Saints’ late consolation was the last time United goalkeeper conceded a competitive goal. He has kept nine consecutive clean sheets since that match and will be looking to make it 10 in a row tonight.
Both Newcastle and Southampton have players already ruled out of tonight’s match. Here’s the list of the outs and doubts for tonight’s semi-final first leg...
1. Southampton: Moussa Djenepo - doubt
The winger was taken off with a suspected concussion after clashing with Nick Pope in the first leg. He may remain rested as a precaution.
2. Southampton: Alex McCarthy - doubt
The goalkeeper is a doubt for the match with a foot injury.
4. Southampton: Juan Larios - out
Has been out for an extended spell with a groin injury.
