​Time for Southampton outcast Hojbjerg to step up

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could finally be handed a chance to start for Southampton, according to the Daily Echo.

Hojbjerg has endured an extremely frustrating campaign so far as manager Mauricio Pellegrino has used him for only six minutes throughout the course of the current season.

It is clear to see that Pellegrino does not rate Hojbjerg too highly but the young Dane could be handed a chance to change the Argentine manager's mind as he is likely to start during Southampton's upcoming clash against Everton at the St. Mary's Stadium, due to the fact that Oriol Romeu is suspended while Mario Lemina is out injured.
