Riyad Mahrez cleared to return to Manchester City training

Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez avoids serious damage to his left ankle and could be available for selection against Chelsea in the Community Shield next weekend.

Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has been given the all-clear to return to training after it was confirmed that he has avoided a serious ankle injury.

The club-record signing, recruited from Leicester City earlier this month in a £60m deal, returned from the Citizens' tour of the United States wearing a protective boot on his left foot.

Mahrez sustained the damage early on in City's 3-2 win over Bayern Munich in Miami at the weekend, leaving boss Pep Guardiola fearful of being without the Algerian attacker for the start of the season.

After undergoing a scan on Monday afternoon, however, City's medical staff have revealed that Mahrez suffered only minor damage and could be available for selection when the Premier League champions face FA Cup winners Chelsea in the Community Shield next weekend.

Former Leicester man Mahrez played a direct part in 22 top-flight goals last season.
