The Story in 60 Seconds

Robbie Savage has addressed the potential reaction from Leicester City supporters ahead of his return to the King Power Stadium as Peterborough United manager. Savage takes charge of his first EFL league match with Peterborough on Saturday against his former club, where he previously made over 200 appearances and won the 2000 League Cup.
