LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri would have no qualms about dropping Riyad Mahrez if the playmaker did not augment his sublime attacking skills with equally good defensive work, the Algerian said on Saturday.

Mahrez has become the first Premier League player to reach double figures in goals (14) and assists (10) as leaders Leicester, 5,000-1 outsiders at the start of the season, have staged an unlikely climb to the summit.
