Charlie Austin could lose his place in Southampton's starting XI despite his two goals inspiring their 3-0 Europa League defeat of Sparta Prague.
The striker was the Saints' most influential player as they began their European campaign with a convincing victory.
The former Burnley and QPR favourite scored twice, having won the penalty from which he gave them the lead, and also had a header ruled out for offside.
His movement and partnership with Shane Long also impressed in only his second start of the season.
