Pep Guardiola wants Manchester City to face a Leicester side containing Riyad Mahrez this weekend.
The City manager says he hopes to see the Algeria forward back at his best following the collapse of a potential move to the Etihad Stadium and a subsequent spell in self-imposed exile.
Mahrez failed to report for training for over a week after Leicester refused to sell the 26-year-old below their £95million asking price. City were prepared to pay no more than £60million.
On Thursday Leicester boss Claude Puel ruled Mahrez out of Saturday's clash against the Premier League leaders but it is understood the player has since returned to training and made himself available.
