Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has insisted that clear-the-air talks have been held with Sadio Mane.

The winger, who has been linked with a move away from the St Mary's Stadium this month, was dropped from the starting lineup for last week's trip to Norwich City because he was late for a team meeting.

However, when asked about the situation during this afternoon's press conference, Koeman stressed that it has now been put "behind us".

The Dutchman also added that the 23-year-old will start against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup at the weekend.
