Leicester appeal six-point deduction

Leicester City have launched an appeal against a six-point deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules, dropping them into the Championship's bottom three.

The Foxes were sanctioned earlier this month for PSR breaches and have submitted their appeal to the judicial panel. The Premier League stated they will seek an urgent resolution.

The club described the penalty as 'disproportionate' despite a reduction from the original sanction. Leicester currently sit two points from safety following recent defeats to Birmingham and Southampton.
