Team News: Sadio Mane, Maya Yoshida, James Ward-Prowse back for Southampton

Sadio Mane, James Ward-Prowse and Maya Yoshida are recalled by Ronald Koeman for Southampton's trip to Bournemouth.

Sadio Mane, James Ward-Prowse and Maya Yoshida have been recalled by manager Ronald Koeman for Southampton's Premier League visit to Bournemouth tonight.

The trio were omitted from the starting XI for last weekend's 2-1 home defeat by Chelsea, but Koeman has ushered them back into the fold for the short trip to Dean Court.

Shane Long, who opened the scoring against the Blues on Saturday, continues up front alongside Charlie Austin, with Graziano Pelle on the bench.

Meanwhile, Cherries boss Eddie Howe has named just the one change from his side's 0-0 draw away to Watford last time out, with Junior Stanislas dropping out of the squad with a hamstring injury.

In his place, fit-again Max Gradel makes his first start for the club since August 29 following an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Benik Afobe, who has netted three times since his January switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers, spearheads the attack once again as he looks to end a three-match barren spell.

Bournemouth: Boruc; Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels; Ritchie, Arter, Surman, Gradel, King, Afobe
Subs: Federici, Distin, Elphick, Gosling, Pugh, Grabban, Murray

Southampton: Forster; Cedric ,Yoshida, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Mane, Long, Austin
Subs: Stekelenburg, Clasie, Davis, Tadic, Wanyama, Pelle, Targett
