RALPH Hasenhuttl expects a few Saints fans to be among the 4,000 welcomed at Wembley Stadium this weekend.
As part of the government's roadmap out of lockdown, Saints' FA Cup contest with Leicester is being used as a test event for the safe return of spectators.
Supporters are not allowed to travel from Southampton or Leicester for the game, but instead 4,000 people from the local area around Wembley, including NHS workers, are set to be in attendance.
It will be the first time since December Saints will have played in front of spectators.
And Hasenhuttl expects some supporters of his side to be present at Wembley this weekend.
"I am sure we will also have a few fans that will make it," the Austrian boss said.
"It’s a good thing, definitely. It is important that a few people are coming back into the stadium.
"It is very good for the atmosphere. It is a completely different situation then and for the players definitely much nicer."
