Southampton boss Ronald Koeman isn't ready to write off Gaston Ramirez just yet.

Koeman has noted Ramirez's increased discipline and is open minded about whether the Uruguayan can salvage his Saints career.

“What's changed is we are past the transfer window," said Koeman.

"We had some injuries with some players (for the game against MK Dons) and I gave some players a rest.

"Of course, normally, it is a possibility to take one of the strikers from the under-21s, but they played on Monday for 90 minutes.

"He (Ramirez) is part of the team, he is training well, his behaviour is positive. I'm the first to give that kind of player a chance when we need somebody."
