Riyad Mahrez latest: Leicester City’s AWOL star returns to training and makes himself available for Man City clash

Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez has ended his self-imposed exile by returning to the club's training ground on Friday morning.

The playmaker has also said to have made himself available for Saturday’s clash against Manchester City – the club he was denied joining in the January transfer window – despite manager Claude Puel already ruling him out.

Mahrez has not trained with the club since he was denied a dream move to Man City on deadline day – missing ten days of training and two games.

Puel has said ahead of the Foxes’ clash against the Premier League leaders that Mahrez would not be considered for selection, and that he hopes the Algerian will return to training soon.
