Southampton star Djenepo ruled out of Chelsea clash with hamstring injury

Moussa Djenepo will miss Southampton’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.

The Mali international was substituted in the second half of the Saints’ 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion on October 4.

Before he was replaced by Nathan Redmond, Djenepo had scored the opener for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men as they cruised to their second Premier League win of the 2020-21 campaign.

Despite the injury setback, he was part of the Eagles’ squad that defeated Ghana 3-0 in a recent international friendly, albeit, as an unused substitute.
