Southampton star Moussa Djenepo forced off with suspected concussion after being FLATTENED by Newcastle keeper Nick Pope
MOUSSA DJENEPO was forced off with a suspected concussion after being flattened in a horror clash with Nick Pope.
The Southampton forward ran towards the Newcastle penalty area late in the first half of their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
But the Toon goalkeeper raced out of his box to head the ball clear away from danger.
However, after nodding the ball away to safety, Pope clattered through Djenepo.
The Mali star, 24, collapsed to the turf and was treated by Saints medical staff on the St Mary’s pitch.
After several minutes of attention, he was able to get up and walk down the tunnel unassisted.
However, Djenepo could not carry on and was replaced by Adam Armstrong as a concussion sub.
