While it’s true there’s not much a club can do when a player with an expiring contract expresses a desire to leave, the importance of Fonte’s role at Southampton will have made his departure hurt that much more. While they coped quite alright without him against Liverpool, this performance will have left Puel wondering if he should be making some emergency phone calls to bring in a replacement, with Virgil van Dijk expected to miss up to three months’ action with the ankle injury he picked up against Leicester City.
The Saints are almost certain to finish mid-table this season, falling short of a European spot but will have to keep an eye over their shoulder in case they fail to recover from this defensive lapse.
