Jander, Larin and Peretz fit for Portsmouth - Eckert

Jander is yet to play for Southampton this season [Shutterstock] Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert has confirmed that Caspar Jander, Cyle Larin and Daniel Peretz will all be fit for Sunday's south coast derby against Portsmouth. Jander has not played yet this season due to injury while Larin and Peretz returned to the club early following minor issues over the international break. Twenty-three-year-old midfielder Jander picked up an injury in pre-season against Eastleigh and has struggled to get back to fitness but according to Eckert, he finally looks ready to be reintegrated into the side. "We had big spaces today, a long match prep. And he looked very good," Eckert said. "Daniel also trained and will be playing on Sunday, [Cyle] Larin looks sharp and ready to go for Sunday. "He's not even been at this football club for a year but everyone can see what an impact he has had already, I'm so grateful to have him." Larin joined Saints initially on loan in February this year before making that move permanent in June. He has since scored 17 goals in 32 appearances, with seven of those coming this campaign. Jander has played 43 times and scored twice since signing for Southampton in the summer of 2025 from German side FC Nuremberg.
