Albrighton: Leicester City players not angry with Mahrez

The 26-year-old has embarked on a self-imposed strike but the winger has stated that his teammates are not irritated with his behaviour

Marc Albrighton has debunked claim that Leicester City players are angry with Riyad Mahrez after the Algeria winger tried to force a move away from the King Power Stadium.

Mahrez handed in a transfer request as he wanted to join Manchester City in the January transfer window. But a deal failed to materialise, with the Foxes holding out for a higher price than the Citizens were offering.

Consequently, the winger embarked on a self-imposed strike and had missed several training sessions and two games including Leicester’s 1-1 draw with Swansea City on Saturday.
