Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is hoping for a full squad for the season run-in.

Top-scorer Danny Ings returned to full training over the international break as he closes in on his comeback from a leg problem.

Theo Walcott is also in contention to feature against Burnley following a thigh issue which sidelined him since the end of January.

“With the guys that have been here (during the international break), we could work on a few things we wanted to and bring them to a better shape," the Southampton boss said.

“As soon as the injured players are coming back, you normally have more quality and more options for your game plan, this will help us.

“We know these next two Premier League games are important to take good results and we know we have to have a very good performance.

“We can look forward to these games because we have shown we are on the way back to the way we played before this not so successful time."

Hasenhuttl added: “It is not only about having them back, it is also about how we want to act, and what makes us strong.

“I think we have shown in the FA Cup against Bournemouth, OK only a Championship team, but even there we have shown what made us strong and how we can play.

“We expect a much tougher game now against Burnley, but (we must have) the same behaviours and same effort, then we have a chance to win against them."
