REFEREE Steve Bennett sends Saints' David Prutton off at Birmingham. And if the report indicates it was for violent conduct, the midfielder could be handed a three-match suspension.
Prutton would be likely to miss the trip to Old Trafford on January 31, the home game against Fulham on February 7 and the journey to Arsenal three days later.
Defender Michael Svensson is already suspended for the Manchester United match while fellow centre half Claus Lundekvam could still be out with a hamstring injury.
