Kevin Danso

Danso was certainly an unexpected signing in the summer but has seen his chances to play very limited .

His last start came in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Huddersfield Town at the beginning of January, whilst he has only made six Premier League appearances so far.

Saints were said to have an option to buy the Austrian international when they signed him on-loan from Augsburg but it would be a surprise if they made the deal permanent.

However, given his stature and ability in the air, could he fill in for Bednarek on Tuesday evening?
