207[PHOTO: COURTESY]Riyad Mahrez reportedly skipped training after failing to secure a deadline day move to Manchester City. City attempted to sign the Leicester playmaker on deadline day but the Foxes' £95million valuation proved to be a stumbling block. Guardiola spoke about City's interest in the Algerian, who won the Premier League with Leicester in 2016, but admitted a deal was "not possible". But Leicester manager Claude Puel said: "We receive at the last moment something about City and I think it was harsh for us. "All the players and staff will help him to come back with a smile and to enjoy his football."
