Southampton fans have taken to Twitter to react after it was revealed that Stuart Armstrong would miss the game against Watford due to an injury.
Ralph Hasenhuttl confirmed the news in his pre-match press conference prior to the crucial relegation six-pointer against the Hornets this Saturday, and it comes as a real blow for both club and player at the cruellest of times.
“We have a few issues. One is Stuart Armstrong, in the last game at the end he cramped a little. He has a few problems with his hamstrings. He isn’t able to play at the weekend. Maybe two weeks he is out – after Newcastle we will look again.”
The Scotland international was just starting to find his groove after a period out of the XI during the early weeks of the campaign, and we recently outlined how the former Celtic man could soon become the Saints’ most important midfielder due to his energy and pressing ability – something that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, James Ward-Prowse and Oriol Romeu distinctly lack.
Hasenhuttl stated that Armstrong may be out for around two weeks, and the Southampton fans on Twitter have wasted no time in reacting to this news.
Let’s see what they’ve been saying…
