Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez reportedly misses training for the fourth time since failing to secure a move away from the club on transfer deadline day.

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has missed training for the fourth time in the space of a week, according to reports.

Mahrez is known to be unhappy with the Foxes, who turned down a transfer request from the Algerian towards the end of the January window and reportedly demanded a deal worth £95m to allow him to join Manchester City.

The 26-year-old has since been AWOL from training and has missed the club's last two matches against Everton and Swansea City.

The Foxes were given Monday off following their draw in the latter fixture at the weekend, but Sky Sports News reports that Mahrez was once again absent when the team returned to their Belvoir Drive complex today.

Mahrez was reportedly left "very depressed" by his failure to engineer a move away from the King Power Stadium and is unlikely to feature in next weekend's match, which incidentally comes against Man City.

The Algeria international, who still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current deal, has scored eight goals and assisted seven more in 24 Premier League appearances this season.
