Not playing vs. Saints Kadioglu (toe) is out for Friday's game against Southampton.

Impact Kadioglu was deemed a late call for this matchup against the Saints, and while manager Fabian Hurzeler had stated he "wasn't sure" if Kadioglu would be available, in the end, the game came too soon for him.

Impact Kadioglu could be an option for a return Friday, with the defender having been handed the questionable tag ahead of their match.

Impact Kadioglu was forced to sub off at half with a minor injury during the Carabao Cup loss to Nottingham.
