Leicester helicopter crash: Foxes will face Cardiff on Saturday following death of owner

Leicester City’s Premier League match at Cardiff on Saturday will go ahead following the death of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash.

Srivaddhanaprabha and four others were killed in the crash outside the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Tuesday’s EFL Cup tie between Leicester and Southampton was postponed.

There will be a minute’s silence before the 15:00 GMT kick-off in Cardiff and players will wear black armbands.

In a statement, Leicester said they would make an announcement “in due course” on the rearranged date for the cup tie with Southampton.
