Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has great belief in youngster Alex Jankewitz.
The youngster only managed limited minutes with the first team this past season, despite making his debut in January in an FA Cup clash.
The 19-year-old had a miserable Premier League debut days after that game, getting a red card within a minute against Manchester United in a game they went on to lose 9-0.
Discussing Jankewitz's progress, the Saints boss said, per the Daily Echo:
"The (full) debut against Man United was definitely not really helpful for him.
"I think he made a mistake, but he knows this.
"In the end, we see the quality that he has. We see that he can maybe one time play also on a very high level, but like always there is now big competition in this position.
"We have Stuey (Armstrong) now back on the six, Ibra (Diallo) is there and Ori (Romeu) comes back, it is not so easy to get a chance there to play. But when there is a moment to give him a chance to play, then we will definitely do it.
"When he trains hard and when he is available and gets the chance, then he must show up."
