Mauricio Pellegrino has insisted Southampton will remain "professional" on welcoming former boss Claude Puel back to St Mary's with Leicester. New Saints manager Pellegrino admitted he is unsure how the home fans will respond to Frenchman Puel's return when he pitches up with the Foxes for Wednesday's Premier League clash. "In football, everybody has different opinions," said Pellegrino, when asked if he hoped Puel would receive a warm reception from Southampton's fans. Olivier Giroud's late goal denied Saints a win against Arsenal on Sunday, with Pellegrino's side forced to settle for a 1-1 draw.
