Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is hopeful Moussa Djenepo will be available for their clash with Albion on Sunday (12pm, BBC Sport).

The midfielder was taken off at half-time of the 5-2 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday night because of a groin problem.

But Hasenhuttl hopes the Mali international will be available for Sunday.

He said: “It doesn’t look that bad so hopefully he can start training by the end of the week. So he could be an alternative for the weekend but we don’t know it yet.

“Sometimes it feels worse than it is in the end, but when you scan him he immediately shows a lot of blood in muscles when he has odd injuries, so we have to pay attention to how tough the injury definitely is.

“This is not so easy for our physios to see clearly because sometimes he reacts better than they think.

“When he takes the test it looks better than it should be normally, so it is always tough to decide whether he is available or not.”
