TOBY Alderweireld has returned to the Southampton squad ahead of their trip to Turf Moor tomorrow.
Saints boss Ronald Koeman said the centre-half, signed from Ajax in the summer, could be involved, while Morgan Schneiderlin will also travel in the hope he will be back for Tuesday’s game with Sheffield United in the League Cup.
