Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri held talks with Leonardo Ulloa on Wednesday over the abusive comments made by the forward's agent, Sky Sports News understands.

Horacio Rossi, Ulloa's representative, branded Ranieri a "liar" and claimed the Italian had broken a number of promises he had made to the Argentine last summer.

Sky sources understand Ulloa has distanced himself from the comments, pointing out that they were not made under his instruction, and Ranieri has accepted his explanation.
