Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has played down concerns that Riyad Mahrez picked up an injury in the closing stages of his side's match against Watford this evening.

Mahrez scored what proved to be the winning goal at Vicarage Road, but was forced off late on with what looked like a hamstring strain.

However, Ranieri insists that the change was simply down to a touch of cramp and fatigue for the Algerian.

"No injury, he was tired and had a little cramp so I changed him in the late minutes. His goal was so important," he told BBC Sport.

Mahrez's goal was his 15th in the Premier League this season.
