Southampton FC midfielder 21, set to miss Hull clash with some protocol

SAINTS midfielder Cam Bragg has been ruled out of this weekend’s clash against Hull City due to the concussion protocol.

Bragg, 21, was forced off during Southampton’s 3-2 FA Cup win at Doncaster Rovers last weekend after a nasty collision in the air.

The academy graduate, who scored his first Saints goal at Doncaster, is unable to do the seven-day concussion rule enforced by the FA.

Saturday’s 3pm kick-off will also come too early for Shea Charles, who returned to training this week after a lengthy hamstring injury.

“What I’ve learned in a little bit more detail is how the concussion protocol works this week, so Braggy is going to be out for the weekend,” said Eckert.

“Other than that, Mads [Roerslev] had some training sessions in and out, but still needs a little bit of time. Shea [Charles] looked very good.

“We always need to be careful with the boys. For Shea, tomorrow is going to come a bit early, but we are very positive he will be involved on Wednesday. That’s more or less it.”
