Fraser Forster is officially back.

The Southampton goalkeeper, who tore his patellar tendon last March, started the Saints' Premier League contest against Watford on Wednesday, marking his first taste of game action since the gruesome injury nearly ten months ago.

In the Englishman's extended absence, Southampton had turned to the likes of Paulo Gazzaniga, Kelvin Davis and Maarten Stekelenburg, the latter's hamstring ailment opening the door for the eagerly awaited return of Forster at the St Mary's.
