Mukasa's Southampton history before Saturday
Nuno rules Lamadrid out of Southampton match
Keiber Lamadrid will miss Southampton's visit to West Ham on Saturday. Nuno Espírito Santo told reporters, as quoted by West Ham Zone, that the midfielder is improving from his knee problem but is not ready for this match.
Nuno said the rest of his West Ham players are options, though some will be assessed after recent matches. That is a clearer team-news answer on Lamadrid than the earlier report that he was merely unlikely to feature. The starting XI has yet to be announced.
