Toon in training: Setting up for the Saints

Rafa Benítez's side are still searching for their first win of the season but looked as focused and determined as ever as they trained on Wednesday morning.

Ciaran Clark trained after missing Saturday's defeat to Brighton, and Salomón Rondón was also involved in the session. He hasn't played since suffering a thigh injury in September's draw at Crystal Palace, and while it remains to be seen whether he'll be fit enough to make his return against the Saints, his presence will be a boost to Benítez.
