Adam Lallana has defended former team-mate Luke Shaw from apparent criticism by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.
Shaw and centre-back Chris Smalling appeared to be the subject of Mourinho's disapproval after United's 3-1 win at Swansea, which the left-back missed with injury.
Mourinho argued there are those who are brave and "ones for whom a little pain can make a difference."
But Lallana says Shaw - who missed much of last season after breaking his leg in September last year - is a tough player both mentally and physically.
"I was with Luke Shaw at Southampton," he told the Daily Star.
"He's a very strong boy. He's had a horrific leg injury. You don't come back from that without being mentally and physically strong.
"You don't come back from a leg break like he had without having difficult times mentally on your own."
