Leicester return to action at the King Power Stadium today with football a mere afterthought as fans prepare to pay heartfelt tribute to the man who turned their dreams into astonishing reality.

Manager Claude Puel-s pre-match preparations for the game against Burnley were disrupted after he and a number of players, including Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel, travelled to Thailand to pay respects to the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Leicester owner Vichai was killed in a helicopter crash just outside the ground along with four other people after his club-s 1-1 draw at their King Power Stadium on October 27. His shocking death - moments after taking off from the pitch - sent shockwaves through Leicester, where the charismatic Vichai had become a beloved figure in the club and the city.
