Ruben Selles has provided a fitness update on two key players ahead of the West Ham vs Southampton clash this weekend.
Southampton travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United on Sunday afternoon, and Ruben Selles will be desperate for all three points.

The same can be said of West Ham manager David Moyes. This one really is a Premier League relegation six-pointer in every sense.
Mohammed Salisu and Che Adams were two of the five who were said to have an outside chance of being fit for the game.
And now Saints manager Selles has delivered an update on on those two players…
Ruben Selles breaks bad news ahead of West Ham vs Southampton clash
The Saints boss addressed the media during his pre-match press conference today.
Selles told Hampshire Live:
“Sali [Mohammed Salisu] and Che [Adams] came back with some issues and we have one more training session tomorrow, we will see if they can make that and whether they will be able to make the game.”
If the Saints are without those two players, it will be a massive blow for them.
Salisu has been an absolute rock at the back for Southampton this season and Adams is a constant threat for them up front, albeit not the most prolific.
The West Ham vs Southampton clash will be an absolutely vital one for both sides. A win may well give either side the impetus they need to start climbing towards mid-table security.
In my opinion, the Hammers are strong favourites. And a Southampton team without Salisu and/or Adams will make West Ham’s task of winning the match that little bit easier.
