Leicester City’s appeal against the six‑point deduction imposed for breaching English Football League financial regulations was dismissed, leaving the club in 22nd place and just one point away from relegation with five matches remaining. The sanction, imposed in February, has dropped the club from 17th to 20th in the standings and now threatens a return to League One after their Premier League triumph a decade ago.
