Kenyan International Victor Wanyama suffered a harmstring injury that could see him sidelined for several weeks after an impressive perfomance that saw his club Southampton beat Ipswich 1-0 in the FA Cup.

Southampton coach Ronald Koeman rued the injury to Wanyama telling Sky “It is really negative because already we have some other injuries,” Koeman said.

“Then 12 seconds before half-time, he got his hamstring injury and, OK, you know if it is really a hamstring injury then he will be out for four or five weeks.

“I don’t regret playing him. He had some calf problems out of the game against Man United, but he trained yesterday.

“But, OK, we know we have a tough programme and we don’t have a big squad to resolve that kind of problem with injuries.

Victor Wanyama has been in superb form earning rave reviews from his perfomances that have been consistent .The injury is a big blow to Wanyama who had curved a niche for himself earning a first team place and the trust of Dutch manager Ronald Koeman who has made Wanyama the pillar of his robust midfield.
