Riyad Mahrez will not join up with the Manchester City squad for tomorrow's game at Southampton.
Pep Guardiola today confirmed that the winger will now have a week off, after returning earlier than expected from the African Nations Cup.
Mahrez missed a penalty as holders Algeria crashed out of the tournament at the group stage with a 3-1 defeat by Ivory Coast yesterday, seemingly freeing their star man to return to the Etihad Stadium.
