Southampton defender Harwood-Bellis injured on international duty
Southampton is facing more difficulties as their Premier League season gets worse. Star defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis has suffered an injury while playing for England's under-21 team. He got hurt during a match against France and has returned to Southampton on crutches. Harwood-Bellis is seen as a key player in Southampton's lineup. He has impressed many, including manager Pep Guardiola, who called him "incredible" earlier this season. The 21-year-old defender made his debut for England in November, scoring a goal against the Republic of Ireland. With Harwood-Bellis injured, Southampton's defense will be weaker. They are in danger of being relegated if Wolverhampton Wanderers win their next two matches, and Southampton fails to earn at least two points from their upcoming games. Wolverhampton faces West Ham United and Ipswich Town, while Southampton is set to play Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur. Southampton has struggled this season, having conceded 70 goals and not taken any points in their last five matches. Harwood-Bellis has played in almost every game this season and received seven yellow cards along with one goal. He also captained Southampton in a League Cup match earlier in the season. His injury adds more pressure on the team as they try to avoid relegation.
