Disclaimer: this is not a defence of Mahrez.
For me, Foden is very similar to Bernie, he can play as a winger like Raheem/Sane, but also as a playmaker like Dave or KDB. So, for me, he should had played more this season with all the injuries, but signing Mahrez last summer meant that Phil will not have a huge starting impact.
Now, I don't like Mahrez that much, however I think he has a pretty decent record for us. The only thing that annoys me is about him is that penalty.
Loaning him out can have big benefits with the right clauses inserted. I would send him for the remaining season for someone like Palace, etc, put a starting clause in his contract, or first team, put them 0% part in his wages and give it a go.
He needs game because he looks like he has a hell of a potential.
