Cardiff, Leicester match to go ahead following death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha

Leicester City have confirmed that their Premier League meeting with Cardiff City next weekend will go ahead as planned following the death of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

The 60-year-old was killed along with four others in a helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Leicester postponed Tuesday's EFL Cup tie with Southampton in wake of the tragic accident, but next Saturday's league game with Cardiff is still on.

A minute's silence will be held ahead of the 3pm kickoff at the Cardiff City Stadium, and both sets of players will wear black armbands.

Leicester have yet to set a new date for their rearranged cup tie with Southampton, but hope to make an announcement "in due course".

Meanwhile, a book of condolence has been opened outside the King Power Stadium for well-wishers to pay their respects.
