Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl says that Moussa Djenepo is back for their clash against Manchester City on Saturday.

The Saints are still reeling from the defeat they suffered to Leicester, a 9-0 setback at home.

They also lost to City 3-1 in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

But they will have Djenepo back for this clash against City, after he recovered from a hip injury.

Cedric is another who will be available to Hasenhuttl.

The Saints' boss told reporters: "They [Djenepo and Cedric] trained today for the first time with the team which is positive.

"Moussa was very, very positive. He was immediately laughing. He has such a positive nature, it's fantastic.

"I am happy those two are back and it's a bit too early for the weekend. It was a light session but for the Everton game, it is an option.

"Sofiane had a bit of a problem with his knee and Reddie had a tackle in the session which he felt on his knee, but they are both ok.

"Maybe two players back for the bench as an option."
