Youssef Safri is fit to resume in the Southampton midfield for the home clash with QPR.
The Moroccan midfielder was struggling with a groin injury towards the end of last week's battling draw at Crystal Palace but will be available to face Rangers.
Caretaker bosses John Gorman and Jason Dodd, who have been told they will be in charge for the foreseeable future, could therefore stick with the side which started at Selhurst Park.
Alexander Ostlund is back in training following a thigh injury but is short of match fitness, and fellow full-back Gregory Vignal is recovering from a broken arm.
Fellow defenders Claus Lundekvam (ankle) and Chris Makin (hip) are still out along with winger Nathan Dyer following ankle surgery.
Fitz Hall is QPR's only injury absentee.
The centre-half, one of Rangers' big-money January signings when he arrived from Wigan, suffered a torn groin muscle in the recent clash with Cardiff and could be out for up to six weeks.
Matthew Connolly is fit after a knee injury and will challenge Zesh Rehman for a place in the back four.
Fellow defender Damion Stewart is expected back from international duty with Jamaica in time, while midfielder Akos Buzsaky has returned from Hungary in one piece.
Reserve goalkeeper Jake Cole should be on the bench after recovering from a bruised thumb, although new signing Matt Pickens will rival him for that spot.
Manager Luigi De Canio will be back at the helm after missing last week's 3-0 win over Bristol City following the death of his father.
