Leicester appeal six-point deduction for PSR breach

Leicester City have formally appealed against a six-point deduction for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules.

The sanction, imposed earlier this month, saw the Foxes drop into the Championship's bottom three following back-to-back defeats.

The club described the punishment as 'disproportionate' in a statement released on Wednesday, with the Premier League pledging to seek an urgent resolution to the case.
