Southampton head coach
Ralph Hasenhuttl
hopes to be back after a long time of isolation due to a positive coronavirus test. The Saints’ coach has not been alongside his team in the clean sheet clash against
West Hamlast Tuesday.
McCarthy, who has joined Hasenhuttl’s side in 2016, has been a regular player this season and has kept seven clean sheets this season. Fraser Forster will probably replace him on Monday. Danny Ings’s return boosted Southampton in the clash against West Ham. He has previously missed the drawn clash with Fulham as he suffered a hamstring strain.
