Claudio Ranieri insists Leonardo Ulloa will play once more for Leicester despite the Argentine striker claiming he would go on strike in the aftermath of being denied a move away.
Ulloa launched a remarkable attack on his manager on the eve of deadline day, accusing Ranieri of betrayal and vowing never to wear the Leicester shirt again.
The 30-year-old wanted to be granted a transfer out of the club but Leicester refused to sell to a relegation rival when Sunderland made a £7.5million bid.
Ranieri said he would have no issue selecting Ulloa once he recovers from a thigh injury.
