Leicester winger Marc Albrighton has hit back at suggestions that team-mates are angry with Riyad Mahrez’s conduct.
The Algerian forward failed to show for training four times last week and missed the 2-1 defeat at Everton as he attempted to force through a deadline-day move to Manchester City.
He was absent again as the Foxes were held 1-1 at home by Swansea City and it is unclear when he will return to the club.

However, Albrighton insists there is no backlash for him to face from colleagues, and likened reports this week to claims last year that players had forced title-winning boss Claudio Ranieri out of the club, saying they were simply not true.
