Leicester Rebel Mahrez Holds 'Clear-the-Air' Talks With Teammates Following Failed January Move

Riyad Mahrez and his Leicester City teammates have held clear-the-air talks in the dressing room, according to full-back Danny Simpson.

Mahrez was hopeful of leaving the Foxes last month following a flurry of late bids from Premier League leaders Manchester City, but the King Power side held on, refusing to let him go despite the player making it clear that he no longer wished to play for the team.

The Algerian went underground for 10 days as a result of his disappointment, returning to the team on Saturday to feature as a substitute in a 5-1 loss to Pep Guardiola's City.
