Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl admits Danny Ings is facing a new spell on the sidelines after being forced off during their win at Sheffield United.
It was the 13th minute in which Ings was forced off at Bramall Lane, with what Hasenhüttl explained was a muscle injury.
"I think it was again a muscle problem, but it doesn't look good to be honest," he said.
"I don't know when we will have him. Muscle injuries we are normally waiting for a minimum of four weeks I think, so we will have a look.
"It's a little bit fitting to the history we've had in these past weeks. It's horrible this season, we have so many problems and as soon as players are coming back others are injured again.
"We lost Ori and now we lose Ings again and these are all very important players for us, but even more important is that a player like Nathan Tella did a good job today. He was very strong and that gives me hope for the future."
