Life after Mahrez

Clearly, Riyad Mahrez will be missed. It is not an exaggeration to say that he may be the greatest player to have ever put on a Leicester kit. However, the club is prepared to succeed without him.

Yes, it will be difficult to initially succeed without Mahrez, but Leicester are still a wealthy club with a well-rounded squad and a strong starting XI.

Without Mahrez, the East Midlands outfit still has the capability to be in the top half of the table, and earn upwards of 55 points. It will be hard, but losing Mahrez is not the end of the world.
