Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare has praised Riyad Mahrez’s “professionalism” after the Algeria was dropped to the bench in his side’s goalless draw at Bournemouth on Saturday.

“There are players behind him who have been chomping at the bit, I always say the team is bigger than any one individual, and Riyad’s professionalism I have spoken about on many occasions,” he said after the game.

“I thought him coming off the bench, you could see his quality and it is one where we need that type of response from players that get left out from time to time.”

Riyad Mahrez was strongly linked with a move away from Leicester during the summer, with Roma showing the strongest interest in the latter stages of August.
