Huddersfield Town Caretaker Manager Jon Worthington makes three changes to his side
- Huddersfield Town side named to face Southampton
- Caretaker boss Jon Worthington makes three changes
- Nakayama, Kasumu, and Rudoni return to the team
Huddersfield Town’s Interim Manager Jon Worthington has made three changes to the starting line-up for this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship game against Southampton; 3pm kick-off at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Having missed last weekend’s 4-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday through illness, David Kasumu and Jack Rudoni come straight back into the team on the south coast too. Kasumu makes his first start in three games in place of the injured Rhys Healey (groin), whilst Rudoni returns in place of Bojan Radulovic.
Kasumu is making his 50th competitive appearance for the Terriers today.
The side is otherwise unchanged from the win over the Owls, which means captain Jonathan Hogg starts his 350th game for Huddersfield Town in all competitions.
Radulovic is OK to take a place on the bench today after being forced off the pitch last weekend through a poke to the eye, and he’s joined by goalkeeper Chris Maxwell, who is involved for the first time in seven league games following a hamstring injury.
B Team players Luke Daley, and Conor Falls drop out of the match day 20.
Worthington is without Josh Ruffels (groin), Michał Helik (knee), Delano Burgzorg (ankle), Jaheim Headley (ankle), Ollie Turton (knee), Kian Harratt (suspended), Radinio Balker (illness), Danny Ward (Achilles), and Rhys Healey (groin).
