Leicester City lost their appeal against a six‑point deduction imposed for breaching English Football League financial rules. The sanction, applied in February, dropped the club from 17th to 20th, and after their defeat on the pitch they now sit 22nd, a point from safety with five matches remaining. Managed by Gary Rowett, the club faces the threat of relegation to League One.
