Leicester City lose their appeal against their six-point deduction for breaching EFL financial rules.
Leicester has lost its bid to overturn a six-point deduction imposed for breaching spending rules. The ruling keeps Leicester, which defied 5,000-to-1 odds to win the Premier League title a decade ago, one point from safety in the second-tier Championship with five games left in the season. The deduction was imposed in February after the Foxes were found to have breached the English Football League’s financial rules in the 2023-24 season, which saw it promoted to the top flight.
Hearts midfielder Marc Leonard will be suspended for Saturday's home game with Motherwell after his red card away to Livingston was upheld by a Scottish FA fast-track panel. The 24-year-old, on loan from Birmingham City, was sent off in stoppage time of Sunday's 2-2 draw for a cynical pull on Robbie Muirhead near the halfway line to prevent the striker breaking clear. Hearts appealed against the decision but those at the tribunal hearing agreed referee Kevin Clancy was correct to send the player off.
