Southampton’s Ralph Hasenhuttl to manage from home against West Ham

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl will not be on the touchline at St Mary’s in this evening’s game against West Ham United.

The Austrian is self-isolating after a member of his household tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus yesterday.

The news was released by the club just three hours before kick-off.

According to a club statement, Hasenhuttl is “currently self-isolating while we [the club] assess the situation further.”

That same statement says Hasenhuttl will be managing the game from home, keeping in touch with the team and coaching staff via a video link.
