Juric hopes to use Southampton star Bela-Kochap in the near future

Southampton manager Ivan Juric could be ready to give Armel Bela-Kochap a chance to play.

The defender has been frozen out of the squad by former manager Russell Martin.

However, he is back in the fold below Juric And may be involved in upcoming games.

Juric told reporters: “He has been working with me for the last seven days and really seriously. He is really motivated and I think as a club we have a need for everyone.

“We will see this week. I am sure he will work hard and then we will decide.

“I hope we can use him in the future.”

On incoming signings, Juric added: “No, we are many, too many. If I understand well, we have to give players back or a loan and then decide to bring someone.
