Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has been declared fit to face Newcastle United on Monday night in the Premier League.
There were slight concerns over the Algerian's fitness when he pulled up after scoring the only goal of the game against Watford on Saturday, but Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri is certain that he will be fit to start against the Magpies.
"He is good, everybody is in a good condition," Ranieri told reporters. "There are no problems [with Mahrez]. It was a little cramp."
Mahrez has shot to stardom with Leicester this year, scoring 15 league goals to help the Foxes to a five-point lead at the top of the table with just nine games of the season remaining.
