Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has confirmed Moussa Djenepo will be sidelined for a longer period due to damage to his tendons.
The injury forced the 21-year-old winger to miss the Saints’ 3-1 defeat against Bournemouth in Friday’s Premier League game.
Djenepo has been impressive since his summer switch from Belgian side Standard Liege, scoring two goals in three top-flight games, including his match-winner against Sheffield United.
