Southampton boss Harry Redknapp welcomes back defender Tomasz Hajto ahead of the home clash with fellow promotion hopefuls Leeds. The Polish right-back has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, but he came through a midweek reserve clash unscathed and is likely to come straight back into the starting XI. Redknapp has no new injury concerns, although the club have yet to hear when young striker Kenwyne Jones will return from Bahrain following Trinidad & Tobago's qualification for the World Cup. Chris Baird (knee), Martin Cranie (hamstring) and David Prutton (foot) are still sidelined. Leeds midfielder Gylfi Einarsson has been ruled out after dislocating his shoulder. The Iceland international sustained the injury while appearing for Leeds' reserves in a goalless draw with Birmingham and will be sidelined for at least a month. Striker David Healy is expected to make the starting line-up after being able to take part in some training this week. Healy is carrying an ankle injury and last week had an injection to aid the healing process. Recent loan signing Liam Miller is expected to retain his place in midfield and if Healy makes it, boss Kevin Blackwell could field the same starting line-up as the one that drew with Preston last time out.
