Aaron Ramsdale's fall down the pecking order at Southampton has been laid bare, with manager Tonda Eckert confirming the England goalkeeper is now his fourth-choice option between the posts.
Despite the demotion, Eckert insists Ramsdale still has a part to play at the club, telling reporters he can "support the team" even without regular game time, according to the BBC.
The report offers no further detail on who Southampton now rank ahead of Ramsdale in their goalkeeping ranks, nor how the 27-year-old has reacted to the situation. It marks a striking turnaround for a player who was Arsenal's first-choice keeper and has represented England, underlining how quickly his standing at St Mary's has shifted since his move to the south coast club.
