Leicester City: 'Riyad Mahrez remains greatly valued'

Leicester City have confirmed that Riyad Mahrez returned to training on Friday morning and is now committed to "achieving further success" with the club.

Mahrez had been absent from the Foxes' HQ since seeing a proposed deadline-day move to Manchester City fall through over a disagreement in valuation.

The Algeria international was absent for a second game running against Swansea City last time out due to concerns over his mental state.

However, Mahrez was reunited with his teammates on Friday and has travelled with the squad for this weekend's Premier League meeting with Man City.

A short statement on Leicester's website read: "Riyad remains a greatly valued member of Claude Puel's squad and is focused, together with his teammates, on achieving further success with Leicester City."

Mahrez last featured for City on January 20 - 10 days before handing in a second transfer request at the King Power Stadium.
