Are Leicester (and Arsenal) fans reading too much into no Mahrez in official club photo?

There was an awful lot of zooming and scanning done when Leicester posted a photograph of the club's players on the steps of a plane.

The picture, taken to promote a sponsorship renewal, led to Foxes supporters noticing one very notable omission. After double and triple-checking the image, fans came to the conclusion that there was definitely no sign of Riyad Mahrez. https://twitter.com/LCFC/status/757611885709684736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Mahrez, apparently the subject of interest from Arsenal, scooped Leicester's player of the year award for last season when he played a vital role in their shock Premier League triumph. And the absence of the Algeria international very nearly gave fans a panic attack on Monday night.
