Southampton forward Tom Fellows will miss Saturday's trip to Blackburn Rovers (15:00 BST) because of illness.

"Tom Fellows still isn't right. He was ill the other day at half-time and hasn't felt great since then so he won't be with us," Saints boss Will Still told BBC Radio Solent.

"We've got a bug or an illness going around that we are trying to control."

Forward Jay Robinson and midfielder Caspar Jander are also struggling with sickness but will make the trip.

Right-back Mads Roerslev is in training and will also travel after missing the past two league games with an inflamed Achilles. However, left-back Welington has picked up a knock in his knee and may not be available.

"[Welington] trained today but it's not perfect so we will do what we need to do with those. But we've got enough players in those positions to deal with it," Still added.
