Southampton manager Claude Puel has backed his patched-up defence to deal with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Saints are without key defender Virgil van Dijk for Sunday's Wembley showdown with Manchester United in the EFL Cup final. Instead teenager Jack Stephens, who is almost half Ibrahimovic's age, is set to be handed the job of shackling United's superstar striker.
But Puel, who came up against former Paris Saint-Germain player Ibrahimovic while managing Lille in France, insists the in-form Swede holds no surprises for his side.
'I know Ibrahimovic very well from the French Premier League so I cannot be surprised by him,' said Puel.
