Southampton boss Mark Wotte is hopeful a number of his crocked stars will be fit and ready for the start of pre-season training.

Midfielder Anthony Pulis has yet to pull on a Saints shirt due to a long-standing foot injury, winger Lee Holmes missed a chunk of the season with a knee problem and striker Jamie White suffered a broken leg.

Youngster Kayne McLaggon will not be ready but Wotte is encouraged by the potential returns as he begins his preparations for life in League One next term.

"There will be some players doing rehab at the stadium during the summer, like Jamie White, Anthony Pulis and Lee Holmes who will go in with a view to starting training again on June 15," he said.

"Kayne McLaggon has to be very patient for his return from a ruptured Achilles as he probably won't be back until September."
