New blow for Cork

Southampton midfielder Jack Cork has confirmed he faces up to six weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury.

The 23-year-old limped off in the 81st minute of Tuesday's 2-0 Capital One Cup third-round victory over Sheffield Wednesday - his first match back from an ankle problem suffered in pre-season. Cork was seen at St Mary's in a leg brace on Thursday and has confirmed via his Twitter account that he faces another stretch on the sidelines.

"Another 4-6 weeks, with my left knee," he said on the social media site.
