Claude Puel says Southampton have to adapt to life without captain Virgil van Dijk, who is set to miss a number of weeks with an ankle injury.

“We know Van Dijk will stay weeks out of the team and it’s important to find a good balance without him for three weeks," Puel said of the defender ruled out of Tuesday's match at Swansea City.

“We will see how many times he will not be available but for the team but for the moment, it’s important like against Liverpool to see a balance in defence."
