HUGHES: INGS IS A GOOD FIT

- PETER CARLINE

MARK HUGHES has no concerns about Danny Ings’s injury history and believes the striker has the character to rebuild his career at Southampto­n. Ings, 26, who suffered serious injuries to both knees at Liverpool, joined Southampto­n in a loan move that could become permanent next year for £16million and he may play at home to Burnley tomorrow. Southampto­n manager Hughes said: ‘There’s risk with every player that you bring to a club but it’s not something we considered. He’s been back a while and proved his fitness.’ Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised Ings, saying: ‘If you could bottle character, his would sell worldwide. He is so incredibly positive.’ Hughes added: ‘That was an important factor in bringing him here. We want to enhance the dressing room, so that’s an added bonus for us.’
