Back in starting XI Minamino (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Sheffield United.

Impact Minamino clearly had a minor hamstring injury, as he's immediately back in the starting XI Saturday after missing just one match. That said, he appears to be playing in a more forward role and is likely to be subbed off, possibly for Che Adams, in the second half.

Could be option Saturday Minamino (hamstring) is back in training and could be an option for Saturday's match against Sheffield United, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Minamino suffered a hamstring problem only about a week ago, so a return Saturday seems a bit too quick. Southampton need all the help they can get, but expecting him to start Saturday is probably a stretch with a slew of matches ahead before the international break.

Out with hamstring problem Minamino has a "slight hamstring problem" and can maybe come back next week, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "We rested him from the beginning [at Leeds] because we knew thr...

Impact Hamstring injuries aren't something to mess around with, so there's a decent chance Minamino misses the next two matches. It's unfortunate for the winger, as he scored in two of his first three starts with the club. His absence could mean more starts for Nathan Tella or for Nathan Redmond to move back to a role on the wing.

Scores goal in start Minamino scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Minamino received an immediate start and did not disappoint, scoring his first goal for the Saints in only 30 minutes. The 26-year-old joined Southampton on loan less than a week earlier, but he may be in line to start more right off the gate if wingers Stuart Armstrong (strain) and Theo Walcott (hamstring) remain injured.

Could be involved Saturday Minamino trained Thursday and could be given an immediate start Saturday against Newcastle because of other injuries in the squad.

Impact Minamino only just arrived, but Southampton are in dire need of options after a new injury to Stuart Armstrong popped up this week. Minamino has been healthy most of the season and should be fit enough Saturday. According to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl on Thursday, "I see Minamino training today, he's made a fantastic start already. This gives us all an emotional lift to be honest."

Loaned to Southampton Minamino has joined Southampton on loan for the rest of the season from Liverpool.

Impact Minamino figures to immediately fight for playing time on the wing, especially after Theo Walcott picked up an injury last match. Minamino had yet to catch on at Liverpool after moving from Red Bull Salzburg, but he'll have a chance to prove himself in the Premier League in the second half of the season.

Scores against Crystal Palace Minamino scored a goal, took three shots (one on target), and made two clearances during Saturday's 7-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Minamino scored his first goal of the season to open the scoring in the 3rd minute. Liverpool's busy fixture list and the absence of Diogo Jota (knee) brought Minamino into the starting XI for just the fourth time this season. He should continue to come off the bench, especially with Liverpool having seven days between matches. They'll host West Bromwich Albion on Sunday in their next match.

Makes rare start Minamino took one shot (on target) and put in one cross (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Minamino made his second start of the season and failed to make much of an impact as Liverpool failed to take all three points. The volume of matches Liverpool are currently playing could allow Minamino to continue seeing playing time, though it's unlikely much of that comes in the starting XI.

Comes off bench against Sheffield United Minamino played the final seven minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win over Sheffield United.

Impact Minamino has appeared as a sub in five of Liverpool's seven matches to start the season as it appears he and Diogo Jota have overtaken Divock Origi as Jurgen Klopp's preferred attackers off the bench. Liverpool will play their third match in seven days when they host FC Midtjylland on Tuesday, which could offer Minamino an opportunity for more playing time.
