Jay Rodriguez back in Southampton training

Southampton forward Jay Rodriguez has returned to training after spending over a year on the sidelines through injury.

The 25-year-old has not played since he suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage during his side's 4-1 defeat to Manchester City on April 5, 2014.

Rodriguez is now back with the Saints squad, though it remains unclear whether he will feature this season.
