Leicester City: Championship Struggles & Relegation Risk

Endangered species: Foxes. This Thursday, the English Football League announced that Leicester City will be awarded a six-point penalty. This sanction, recommended by the Independent Disciplinary Commission established by the Premier League, applies to the current season of the Championship, the second English division. The club is sanctioned for violating profit and sustainability rules between 2021 and 2024.

The threat of relegation

With this removal of points, the Foxes fall from the 17e at the 20e place and are getting closer to the red zone. With 32 points after sanction, Leicester is only ahead of West Brom, 22e and first relegation, only thanks to goal difference.

Thus, the 2016 English champion sees his future threatened, risking going directly from the Premier League to the third division.

Bring back Jamie Vardy to save the house.
