MOUSSA DJENEPO NEWS

Records assist against Man City Djenepo subbed into Saturday's match against Manchester City in the 69th minute, assisting a goal in the 4-1 defeat.

Impact Djenepo made his first Premier League appearance since January on Saturday, but he set up fellow substitute Sekou Mara for a consolation strike against City, his first assist in the competition since the season opener.

Featuring for B team Djenepo (concussion) is in the starting XI for Friday's match with Southampton's B team.

Impact Djenepo is back from his concussion, but he's also playing with the B team alongside a few other senior players, which isn't a great sign. Djenepo already lost playing time prior to some new additions and now he's playing with the B team, which means minutes in the second half of the season will be hard to come by.

Suffers concussion in Cup loss Djenepo will miss the next week after suffering a concussion in Tuesday's Cup loss against Newcastle, according to manager Nathan Jones.

Impact Djenepo could be in the squad for the second leg as long as he passes protocol, though that's not guaranteed. At the least, he isn't expected to miss a league match, though that's not saying much. He's played just six league minutes in the past four matches and hasn't had much of a role since opening the season as a left-back.

Comes off injured Djenepo (undisclosed) was forced off with an injury during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Newcastle.

Impact Djenepo was forced off early during Tuesday's match, being replaced by Adam Armstrong. It's not the first issue Djenepo has had as he just returned from an issue earlier in January. Djenepo's first chance to return is a Saturday trip to Brentford.

Included in match-day squad Djenepo (undisclosed) will be available as a substitute versus Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Impact Djenepo made just one start in the club's last 10 Premier League contests, so his presence on the bench shouldn't come as a surprise. With no clear path to the starting XI, Djenepo is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value the rest of the season.

Missing from Saturday's squad Djenepo is not in the match day squad to face Fulham on Saturday.

Impact Djenepo misses out on Saturday's match after leaving early on Boxing Day against Brighton. More extent about a possible injury should be available ahead of Wednesday's match with Nottingham Forest.

Available after absence Djenepo is back in training Tuesday after missing the match over the weekend due to the birth of his child.

Impact Djenepo has played just 42 minutes since September but will try to change that after the sacking of Ralph Hasenhuttl. He's played at left-back this season, but he's been more of a winger and attacking player throughout his career, something he'll hope to show the new managerial team.

Left on bench Djenepo was left on the bench for Sunday's 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Impact Djenepo still made the bench despite missing training until Sunday due to illness, so his fitness is not completely in question. He's still played just once in the last three matches and will need to get a little further along before picked in the starting lineup again. With Romain Perraud now in control of the left-back spot, Djenepo isn't likely to play as much unless he can earn more minutes in the attack.

Unlikely for Sunday Djenepo has missed training all week because of illness, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact It's unclear if Djenepo will actually miss Sunday's match, but that doesn't matter much for Southampton, as he's started just one of the last five matches. He opened the season as a left-back, but with Romain Perraud healthy again, he hasn't found a way back into the starting XI outside of a subpar start at Aston Villa before the international break.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inks three-year extension Djenepo has inked a three-year extension with Southampton, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Dejenpo is going to be with Southampton for the next three season barring a sale, rewarding the step forward he's taken in 2022/23. The left-back has made appearances in all six matches so far in the new campaign and has one assist and four chances created in that time.

Good to go Djenepo was not mentioned by manager Ralph Hasenhuttl ahead of Saturday's match against Leicester City.

Impact It's likely Djenepo was dealing with some cramps last match, which ended up getting marked as an injury by stat keepers. The winger has surprisingly started the first two matches on the left side, producing an assist from three chances created to go with five fouls drawn. Until Romain Perraud is ready to return, Djenepo figures to remain in that role unless Hasenhuttl really changes up the formation.

Subs off with late injury Djenepo came off with an injury in stoppage time and had three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 tie versus Leeds United.

Impact Djenepo was brought off with an injury in stoppage time of Saturday's draw. It appeared to be a knock or muscular strain so the hope is that it was relatively minor. Jack Stephens replaced Djenepo on the pitch but it's likely someone else would play on the left wing if Djenepo can't go next match.

Back with Southampton Djenepo is back from AFCON and training with Southampton over the international break.

Impact Djenepo is again an option for Southampton after missing the last five league matches because of AFCON duty. He left early for the tournament, mainly because he wasn't getting time, appearing in just one of the prior nine matches. Unfortunately, he doesn't expect to have a role the rest of the way unless an injury or two comes about.

Away for AFCON Djenepo has joined up Mali for the upcoming African Cup of Nations and will be out roughly the next month, reports Tom Leach of football.london.

Impact Djenepo has rarely appeared for Southampton the last two months, so he'll go down to Mali early and work on his fitness. It's not a major blow for Southampton, as he's played just 20 minutes since October.

Working way back to form Djenepo is working his way back to form, having not appeared in the team's last seven matches. According to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, "He had a private problem. After this, not rea...

Impact Djepeno started the first four matches of the season and then his role quickly disappeared. He may get a start because of the busy period, but it'll be tough to win it back as long as guys like Nathan Redmond and Nathan Tella are healthy. Not to mention, this all comes with Stuart Armstrong out injured.

Available against Liverpool Djenepo (knock) returned to training this week and is available for Saturday's trip to Liverpool, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Djenepo was a surprise absence last week, but he'll be an option again Saturday. Of course, he hasn't appeared in a match since Oct. 16 and with Nathan Redmond available, Djenepo probably won't be asked to start at Liverpool.

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Norwich match Djenepo missed Saturday's match against Norwich City because of some "private issues," according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Djepeno hasn't played the last four matches and this is the first time Hasenhuttl has mentioned a possible issue. He started the first four matches of the season, but Mohamed Elyounoussi quickly took that role and Djenepo has rarely played since.

Locked into starting role Djenepo has started all three games for Southampton so far this season.

Impact Djenepo has been locked into a starting role playing 218 of a possible 270 minutes. The attacker should continue to see time as one of the men on the flank for the Saints moving forward.

Ends season without role Djenepo started one match in the final two months of the season, totaling 15 starts from 27 appearances for the campaign.

Impact Djenepo picked up a few muscle injuries earlier in the season and while he ended healthy, he didn't find a role in the side. While he appeared in more matches than a season ago, his numbers took a hit, producing just one goal and no assists from 14 shots and six chances created.
