Better to say back in training but unlikely to be ready for a while yet. Then there would be no hopes raised but intimating that a forward with pace may be ready will raise expectations, given the paucity up front.

We will see.

- Brown likely to play - he played full 90 minutes - tick
- Murray has trained - won't risk him to start,"cautious"- came on as sub - tick
- Bong is fit - he played - tick
- Kayal and Baldock back in training. - tick (they have - see social media)

Latest Hughton injury watch for Southampton:

Sidwell: “The only injury at this moment is Steve Sidwell - it will still be a while but he’s making good progress. Apart from him, everyone else is fit and available, which is very good news.

Baldock/Kayal “Both of them [Sam Baldock and Beram Kayal] have played in the last two under-23 games, but they wouldn’t have had the training and build-up that the others have had. They looked good in the games and have worked very hard on their rehab programmes.

Hemed “It’s a big boost [Tomer Hemed’s return], he was in very good form before the ban, so it’s great to have him back.”
https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2017/october/hughton-on-southampton/

Current running order: Hughton - 13 updates in press conferences, 13 correct.

We’ve been lucky with Dale & Davy staying fit. With Sidwell’s age and Kayal’s injury record, we need another central midfielder in January. I don’t think Norwood, Ince or Molumby fit for various reasons.

Norwood and Ince are on season long loans, I believe - and I don't know if we've even got a recall clause.. Yes, we've been lucky with Dale and Davy's fitness, but Sidwell and Kayal are adequate cover, IMHO, or Gross can play CM (and Izzy can then cover Gross's position) - but most of all, I think it's time we put a bit of faith in our youngsters; wouldn't mind seeing Molumbey get a game in the event of injuries. He did fine at B'muff.
We can, of course, look to build in the summer, but for the moment I think our priorities (and as we don't have unlimited funds we have to prioritise) are the striker we couldn't land in the summer, and a 4th. choice CB to let Connor go for half a season in The Championship.
