Southampton left-back Luke Shaw is a doubt for Saturday's home clash with reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

The 17-year-old picked up a ligament issue ahead of his planned England Under-21s debut against Sweden in midweek.

Shaw has been under treatment at the club since Tuesday, but Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino is unlikely to take any risks with the teenager.

Right-back Nathaniel Clyne, another to drop out of the Young Lions' squad, may also be unavailable.

Gaston Ramirez and Guly do Prado are also doubts, while Jose Fonte is sidelined.

Adam Lallana could make his first start since suffering a knee injury on December 8 and January acquisition Vegard Forren could make his debut.
