It will be important with Virgil to continue his work and [help us] go up on the table. "For me with Virgil it is not an idea or view [that he wants to leave]. "Of course they will both stay. It is always speculation about different players. It is normal because they are great and important players. "But it's important for them to stay and have a good attitude and improve our position in the table." Puel also confirmed the club will not be appealing the red card given to Nathan Redmond in the 4-1 defeat to Tottenham on Wednesday, a first loss in four top-flight matches that left them in eighth position.</blockquote>
