Read our privacy policy Southampton interim boss Simon Rusk could receive a major injury boost as the Saints turn their attention to the Carabao Cup quarter-final at home to Liverpool after Russell Martin was sacked on Sunday night. Injured goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was a pundit for TNT Sports during the Saints’ shambolic 5-0 loss to Tottenham, which made it 13 defeats in 16 Premier League matches and ultimately cost Martin his job. “We’ve got a big game and one we can try to get into the semi-final of the cup on Wednesday.” Summer recruit Ramsdale watched Southampton concede after 36 seconds at St Mary’s and after being 3-0 down inside 14 minutes, they shipped two more before half-time. Southampton centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis Rusk will have precious little time before the midweek visit of Liverpool, but will have a group of players determined to respond to Sunday’s 5-0 thrashing.
