Leicester City 'to fine Riyad Mahrez £200,000 for going AWOL'

Leicester City will reportedly issue a £200,000 fine to Riyad Mahrez for failing to report to the club on three occasions.

The Algerian international was absent from training this morning after he failed to secure a deadline-day move.

The 26-year-old submitted his second transfer request in six months amid reports that Manchester City were willing to spend £65m on the winger.

In the end, though, Pep Guardiola's side reportedly withdrew their interest after the Foxes demanded a player-plus-cash deal worth around £95m.

According to the Daily Mail, Mahrez will be docked two weeks' wages for missing two training sessions and failing to travel with the squad for Wednesday night's 2-1 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park.

The Algerian is believed to feel 'very depressed' after the transfer never materialised.
