Saints boss to recall striker

Tadanari Lee could return to action as Saints boss Nigel Adkins rotates his squad for tonight's Capital One Cup clash at Leeds.

The Japan international is set to feature at Elland Road after sustaining an arm injury last month, while Frazer Richardson could also be involved against his former club after a thigh injury. Richard Chaplow, Jos Hooiveld and James Ward-Prowse were unused substitutes in the defeat by Spurs and may start, while Jack Cork is close to full fitness after a knee injury. Kelvin Davis is expected to come in for goalkeeper Artur Boruc while Emmanuel Mayuka could get a start up front with Lee.
