James Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury were dropped by Brendan Rodgers for Leicester City’s 3-2 defeat to West Ham after they attended a party last weekend.

A statement from Leicester read: ‘The club has made its expectations around adherence to COVID-19 protocols abundantly clear to all its personnel.

‘It is extremely disappointing, therefore, to learn of a breach that had the potential to undermine the efforts of club staff to protect the environments in which our teams train and play.

‘Appropriate measures have been taken to prevent our team bubbles being compromised.

‘We wholly expect our people to behave in a way that reflects the national effort and the sacrifices made by our communities to control the spread of the virus.

‘Those involved have apologised for their poor judgement. Our response to the matter will be concluded internally.’
