Ronald Koeman has confirmed that Graziano Pelle will be fit to join the Saints squad for the game against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Graziano Pelle has recovered from his knee injury that required an injection and kept him out of the starting line up at Crystal Palace and looks set to return to the starting line up to face Spurs on Saturday.

Ronald Koeman confirmed this at this afternoon's press conference, but also gave the news that Maarten Stekelenburg will not be fit to return so Paulo Gazzaniga will get a chance to continue in goal after his string of saves at Selhurst Park last weekend.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman confirmed: “Maarten Stekelenburg is not available for the weekend so Paulo will start again this weekend.

“Graziano is back this weekend.”

IWOZTHERE added 22:04 - Dec 17 Good that Pelle is an option but I suspect that the words about Stekelenberg may be politics. Gazzaniga is in on merit after his Palace display.

TimSaint added 23:05 - Dec 17 Let's just hope that whoever gets the nod between the sticks on Saturday, performs much better than Kelvin did against Spurs last season. Got a good hand to Lamela's punched in goal for their first equaliser and really should have saved it and got beaten at his near post for the 2nd (where Yoshi should have done better as well).
