Southampton striker Shane Long rated ‘50/50’ to face Bournemouth

Republic of Ireland striker Shane Long is fighting to be fit in time for Southampton’s trip to Bournemouth after damaging a hamstring in Saturday’s 2-1 home loss to Chelsea.

Koeman rated his in-form forward as “50-50” with a late fitness test in the offing.

“Shane Long was injured at the weekend but it’s not final that he’s out,” the former Holland defender said.
