Eddie Howe says that Joelinton and Allan Saint-Maximin are doubtful for Sunday's clash at Chelsea. The pair both missed the 2-1 win over Southampton last night due to a groin injury and illness respectively.
There was word around the Press room at St Mary's last night from insiders that Joelinton still has a chance to be fit for Sunday's clash with the former Hoffenheim star a spectator on the South Coast. Yet Saint-Maximin was not present.
Explaining the injuries, Howe said: "Joe has been managing a groin problem, and has come off in a couple of games with it. He’s gone down injured with it but has always managed to carry on, but (on Wednesday) I think the pain just got too much for him.
