Fantasy Premier League managers have been handed a boost as a pair of popular names have been handed the all-clear to return to action ahead of the next round of Premier League fixtures.
This years edition of the tournament has been plagued by COVID-19 absentees and postponements, meaning that the end of season run-in will be even harder to navigate than usual with games being rescheduled on a constant basis.

However, two popular figures could be on their way back. Firstly, Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhutl has confirmed the return of Tino Livramento from a knee injury, which has kept him out since late December.
Hasenhuttl confirms Tino Livramento, knee, and Will Smallbone, calf, are in contention after recovering from injury. Djenepo returns following his involvement at #AFCON2021 “We have two injured players, Alex McCarthy who has a long time out and Tella is still out.” #SaintsFC

Previously in almost every manager’s team, his selection has dropped to just 10% since his injury, but he has now returned, meaning that that number should shoot up again.
Son returns too
In more good news for FPL fans, Heung-Min Son has returned to training following several weeks out with a hamstring strain that saw him miss two Premier League clashes.

Still at just 12% ownership, it could be a good time to bring him back into the fold, with some favourable Tottenham fixtures on the horizon and plenty of double gameweeks to come.
