The Saints striker, on loan from Liverpool, could miss up to three weeks with a hamstring problem.
Southampton have announced that striker Danny Ings will be unavailable to play for the club for the next two to three weeks due to a hamstring injury.
The 26-year-old, on loan from Liverpool, came off after 27 minutes of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Burnley and will now miss Saturday’s home game against Cardiff City.
Ings, who has scored seven goals in 18 Premier League appearances for the Saints this term (Transfermarkt), could also be unavailable for the trip to Arsenal and home fixture against Fulham.
The injury is a big blow for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side, who are 16th in the Premier League, just two points above the relegation zone, while Ings will rue yet another spell on the sidelines.
Ings has been unlucky with injuries in the past, including serious knee problems which ruled him out for most of the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, as noted on Transfermarkt.
Following the club’s update confirming that Ings had been ruled out, some Southampton fans took to Twitter to give their opinions, including expressions of despair:
