Leicester City boss Claude Puel insists Riyad Mahrez has returned from his self-imposed exile a better player.
The midfielder went on strike for ten days after a deadline day move to Manchester City fell through.
Although he returned to the matchday squad against Pep Guardiola’s side last Saturday, there was still intense speculation the Algerian was not in the right frame of mind.
However, Puel has been so impressed with the 26-year-old in training, he may even start the Foxes’ FA Cup tie at home to Sheffield United.
