SAINTS have a squad of 22 senior players expected to be fit and ready for their Championship promotion push.

The winter transfer window has shut with only Mason Holgate departing from his loan spell to join Sheffield United on deadline day. 

Manager Russell Martin has at least two players for every position except for the defence at his disposal despite Charly Alcaraz's exit.

Six players will look to cover four positions at the back for the remaining 18 matches of the league season. Here is Southampton's squad in full:

Goalkeeper 

Gavin Bazunu, Alex McCarthy, Joe Lumley.

Defenders

Kyle Walker-Peters, James Bree, Jack Stephens, Jan Bednarek, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Ryan Manning, Juan Larios (injured), Jayden Meghoma.
