HARRY WINKS was axed from the Leicester City squad after reportedly getting into a blazing row with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Winks, 29, found himself dumped out of the matchday team for the Foxes’ trip to Manchester City on Wednesday night.

And now The Telegraph report it came after getting into a “heated” argument with the manager.
Van Nistelrooy allegedly requested Winks compromised on his 100-mile daily commute to the club’s £100million training ground.
He wanted the former Tottenham man to stay overnight at the on-site hotel accommodation once a week at Seagrave in North Leicestershire.
However, it is understood Winks refused the suggestion and has private reasons for commuting from Hertfordshire every day, which he has done since joining the club for £10m under Enzo Maresca last season.
The ten-cap England international did welcome a baby daughter with partner Lowri Algar in mid-March.
It is the latest off-field issue surrounding Leicester who looked destined for an immediate relegation back to the Championship.
Earlier in the season, Winks was among a group of Foxes players who partied in Copenhagen while holding a sign reading “Enzo I miss u” following a defeat to ex-manager Maresca’s Chelsea.
