Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a broken ankle.
Romeu broke down during Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to Leeds United.
Now the Saints have been dealt a hammer blow with the news he needs surgery to fix the problem.
Boss Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “He has a fracture on his ankle.
“It will take a minimum of three months until he is back."
