Starting against Villa Elyounoussi (heel) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Elyounoussi is well enough to start again Saturday after missing the midweek Cup match. It clearly was a minor issue, but it's still surprising that he's starting over Nathan Redmond. That said, Elyounoussi has been the guy, now making his fifth-straight start in league play.

Late test with heel problem Elyounoussi is considered a late test for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa because of a heel problem, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Elyounoussi missed Wednesday's FA Cup match with the issue, so there's a real chance he misses Saturday. That said, this seems like a minor issue for now having gone a full 90 the last two league matches. If he can't go, Nathan Redmond is healthy again and ready to start if needed.

Expected to be fine Elyounoussi (ankle) is expected to be fine for Saturday's match against Everton after not being mentioned by manager Ralph Hasenhuttl in his press conference.

Impact It seems like Elyounoussi should be able to start again, as Hasenhuttl hasn't mentioned the injury since last weekend's post-match presser. While he's started the last two matches, Elyounoussi isn't guaranteed for the XI against Everton with Nathan Redmond healthy again.

Impact Elyounoussi has been a disappointment since his arrival to St. Mary's. The midfielder has not brought the same production he once had at his previous clubs. Luckily, it seems he may be finally flipping the script as another catalyst for Southampton. In his past five matches, he has two goals and one assist and he is averaging, 0.8 shots, 1.6 created chances, 0.4 crosses, 0.2 corners, 0.8 tackles and 0.6 interceptions per 90 minutes in all competitions. His ankle will be monitored in the coming week and will hope to remain in the XI next match if healthy.
