Saints duo Dejan Lovren and Gastón Ramírez have been included in the final World Cup squads for Croatia and Uruguay respectively.
Both players had been named in their country's preliminary groups for Brazil, but, as expected, they have made the cut for the final 23.
Centre-half Lovren is set to be part of the tournament's opening game, as Croatia face hosts Brazil, on June 12.
Also in their group are Mexico and Cameroon.
Saints playmaker Ramírez could come up against England, with Uruguay draw alongside them, as well as Italy and Costa Rica.
