Starting all 23 of Saints’ Premier League matches to date, Bednarek completed the full 90 minutes against Wolves on Saturday but is a concern for the midweek clash at Selhurt Park.



Issuing an update on his side’s fitness, manager Ralph Hasenhüttl revealed Saints are otherwise at full fitness following the weekend.



“We have Jan Bednarek who has a little bit of a problem with his Achilles,” he said. “So far, the rest were a little bit tired I think yesterday, but today let’s have a look.



“We have training in the afternoon so can have a look.”
