Starts against Man City Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) is in the starting lineup against Manchester City on Saturday.
Impact The defender faced a late fitness test that proved to be successful, and he will partner with Jan Bednarek at center-back with the mission of stopping -- or slowing down -- Erling Haaland.
APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Late call against Manchester City Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) will face a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's match versus Manchester City. "Armel is still a question mark for us" said manager Ruben Selles.
Impact Bella-Kotchap was forced to miss last match after suffering a shoulder injury before the international break. It is unclear if the defender will make an appearances Saturday, with Jan Bednarek and Duje Caleta-Car the expected starters at center back against Manchester City.
APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out against Hammers Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) will miss out versus West Ham United on Sunday. Manager Ruben Selles told reporters, "Armel has a similar problem that he had in the past. I remember it wa...
Impact Bella-Kotchap was forced off in the eighth minute against Tottenham before the international break and will now be out of action for at least Sunday's matchup. Without the central defender in the squad, Mohammed Salisu (undisclosed) would be the most likely replacement, though he is a doubt himself.

Leaves early with shoulder injury Bella-Kotchap was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match with Tottenham due to a shoulder injury.
Impact Bella-Kotchap was forced off after just eight minutes, succumbing to a shoulder injury. The defender was replaced by Mohammed Salisu as Bella-Kotchap has two weeks to recover before Southampton's next match.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Strong defensive effort Saturday Bella-Kotchap had two tackles (one won), four clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Leicester City. He was credited with a clean sheet.
Impact Southampton delivered an impressive defensive performance in this match, and Bella-Kotchap was at the center of that strong defensive effort since he won most of the duels he engaged against the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy. Bella-Kotchap has racked up 24 clearances, 11 interceptions and eight tackles across his last five appearances.
MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shines in win over Chelsea Bella-Kotchap made one tackle, eight clearances and two interceptions, drew three fouls, helped his side to keep a clean sheet and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 win...
Impact Bella-Kotchap had his first EPL action since Jan. 4 and not only was able to play the full 90 but also did it in great fashion. His eight clearances matched a season high and he was one of the biggest reasons why his side was able to hold onto the lead from the 16th minute until the final whistle. With performances like this, it's hard to envision Bella-Kotchap not making the starting XI moving forward.
FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes full 90 in FA Cup win Bella-Kotchap (knee) returned to the starting XI and went the full 90 in Saturday's FA Cup win against Blackpool.
Impact Bella-Kotchap was expected to miss more time, but he was only out for a few weeks and surprisingly well enough to go 90 minutes in his return. The question is if he keeps his starting spot following injury, as Nathan Jones had moved to three center-backs when Bella-Kotchap picked up his initial injury. He's on 13 starts for the season, but he majority of those were before Jones.
JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out against Everton Bella-Kotchap (knee) is on "a timescale of 7-10 days," Southampton manager Nathan Jones said Thursday.
Impact Bella-Kotchap will miss Saturday's clash against Everton after suffering a knee injury against Forest last week, and he will be questionable for next weekend's Villa match as well. Jones said he will not rush Bella-Kotchap back to the squad due to the "trickiness of the injury," so Duje Caleta-Car should continue alongside Mohammed Salisu in central defense in his absence.
JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
To miss multiple weeks Bella-Kotchap is set to miss multiple weeks after suffering a knee injury during Wednesday's match against Nottingham Forest.
Impact Bella-Kotchap limped off the pitch in the 34th minute and now will face an extended absence. He was replaced in the match by Duje Caleta-Car who likely will be the beneficiary of starting XI minutes.
JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Limps off Wednesday Bella-Kotchap limped off with an apparent knee injury during Wednesday's clash with Nottingham Forest.
Impact Bella-Kotchap was unable to carry on after picking up an apparent knee injury. The defender was replaced by Duje Caleta-Car, who would see more playing time if Bella-Kotchap's injury proves to be serious. Bella-Kotchap has 10 days to be evaluated before a Jan. 14 trip to Everton.
JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set to return Sunday Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) is in contention versus Newcastle United on Sunday. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl told reporters, "Bella-Kotchap is also an option for the weekend. He is back i...
Impact Bella-Kotchap returns from a three-game stint on the shelf due to his shoulder injury after having started nine straight contests before getting hurt. In those contests, the central defender registered 40 clearances, 21 interceptions and 13 tackles (four won) but just one assist and 10 shots (one on target).
NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
On schedule to return next week Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) is hoping to return to full training next week, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "With Armel, he also looks good. It could be that he starts next wee...
Impact This was the original timeline for Bella-Kotchap and it looks like he should be available before the break. Duje Caleta-Car came in for him and more recently Lyanco started in place of the injured Kyle Walker-Peters. The good news for Bella-Kotchap is that this shouldn't keep him out an extended period.
OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out at least two weeks Bella-Kotchap will miss at least two weeks after dislocating his shoulder, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "If we need a surgery for him or if we do it without. I think he w...
Impact Bella-Kotchap had started all but the opener prior to injury and his absence will change Southampton's look yet again, this time on the back line. There's a chance he doesn't get surgery and only misses a few matches, but there's also a chance he doesn't push things with him maybe only being able to play one or two matches before the World Cup. Duje Caleta-Car is an option to step into the XI, though Lyanco is still in waiting on the bench.
OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out indefinitely Bella-Kotchap could miss up to eight weeks with the dislocated shoulder he suffered in Sunday's match against West Ham, according to manager Ralph Hassenhutl via Mark Wyatt of Hamp...
Impact Bella-Kotchap is truly out for an indeterminate period of time if what the manager suggested is to be believed. Until he does come back, look to Duje Caleta-Car as a potential replacement for Bella-Kotchap until the injury is resolved.
OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers dislocated shoulder Bella-Kotchap reportedly suffered a dislocated shoulder that forced him out of Sunday's 1-1 draw with West Ham, according to Adam Blackmore of Radio Solent.
Impact Bella-Kotchap isn't expected to be out for very long but could need a couple of weeks to make sure he's able to play. A run of nine consecutive starts is likely to end Wednesday against Bournemouth, at which point Duje Caleta-Car could replace Bella-Kotchap in the lineup.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Forced off against West Ham Bella-Kotchap had to be replaced by Duje Caleta-Car after 42 minutes of Sunday's match against West Ham due to a suspected shoulder injury.
Impact Bella-Kotchap had started in nine straight games including Sunday but couldn't make it until halftime. With plenty of games still left before the World Cup, Bella-Kotchap will hope he's not out for long.
OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Strong defensively in loss Bella-Kotchap had three tackles (two won), six clearances and five interceptions in Friday's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
Impact Bella-Kotchap was one of the lone bright spots on an otherwise timid Southampton squad Friday. His six clearances and five interceptions were both team-highs. As the score sheet would suggest, offensive stats were at a premium in this contest, but Bella-Kotchap was able to provide decent utility with his defensive efforts.

AUGUST 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Transfers to Southampton Bella-Kotchap has signed a four-year contract with Southampton after transferring from VfL Bochum, the club announced Tuesday.
Impact Bella-Kotchap made 73 appearances across three campaigns for Bochum's senior team, including four clean sheets in 20 starts last season in his Bundesliga debut. The 20-year-old is now moving to the Premier League with Southampton, where he'll likely be a backup to Mohammed Salisu and Jan Bednarek in central defense, to start out the season at least.
JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Busy in debut Bundesliga season Bella-Kotchap made 22 appearances (20 starts) in the 2021/22 Bundesliga campaign.
Impact Bella-Kotchap was a newcomer to the Bundesliga with Bochum, but it didn't look like he missed a beat. The defender was excellent throughout the campaign and was one of the key parts of the Bochum defense. A brief stint in the middle of the season was concerning as it looked like he was falling out of the starting XI, but a strong half brought Bella-Kotchap and solidified his spot in the first team.
JUNE 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Positive COVID-19 test Bella-Kotchap tested positive for COVID-19, Bochum announced Monday.
Impact Bella-Kotchap was forced to withdraw from the U21 national team after testing positive for COVID. While it will certainly be a disappointment for the defender, he should have time to return to full fitness over the international break.
MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Logs four interceptions Bella-Kotchap had one block, four interceptions and sustained one foul in the 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
Impact Though his side went up early, Bella-Kotchap made sure never to surrender on defense. That held true when Eintracht Frankfurt eventually pulled ahead as well. The defender always seems to be in the right place at the right time, as he averages several interceptions per appearance. Hopefully he can do the same in the next match against Monchengladbach.
