Juric offers injury update on Southampton trio ahead of trip Ipswich

Forwards Dibling, 18, and Kamaldeen, 22, have been passed fit to travel to Portman Road after training with the squad on Thursday.

Goalkeeper Ramsdale, 26, also returned to training this week after missing last weekend's 3-1 defeat to Newcastle with a minor injury.

Juric did not commit to a definitive answer on Ramsdale's fitness status but suggested the five-time England international "will be ok".

Saints have lost defender Nathan Wood, 22, and winger Ryan Fraser, 30, to injuries this week and neither will be available to face the Tractor Boys.

"Kamaldeen and Dibling trained today (Thursday) with us, and they will be with us. We had problems with Fraser and Woody, not big ones, but they will be out for this game.

"Dibling has recovered already, and like I said, he did all (of) training today and he's ready. Aaron Ramsdale did one part of the training today. Tomorrow, I think he will be OK."

Teenager Dibling has recovered from injury sooner than initially anticipated. The original prognosis of his injury saw him slated to miss four to six weeks of action.

Kamaldeen has also shaken off concerns of a longer-term injury, with Juric admitting last week that the medical staff were "worried" about his hamstring issue.

The Croatian boss has still only made one senior signing, adding Denmark international Albert Gronbaek on loan from French club Rennes.

Juric confessed that the 23 year old enjoyed a successful week in training and suggested he may be ready to play this weekend.

"He did a good week. He's an interesting player, a very interesting player in attack because he's quick and has very good technique. He did a very good week. Maybe even he can play."

Juric revealed last week that he views Gronbaek as someone capable of occupying the same role as Mateus Fernandes.

The Portuguese youth international will be difficult to dislodge in the starting XI, however, Juric admitted both could play in the same team.
