The Foxes, who are top of the table, are due to play Crystal Palace at the end of February.

And head coach Jonathan Morgan, who is believed to have been infuriated by the incident, is expecting his players back in training this week.

But it is reported the group who broke Covid protocols will only be allowed to return on the proviso they test negative for coronavirus. 

A Leicester City spokesman said: “The club was extremely disappointed to learn of this breach, which had the potential to undermine the extensive work of club staff to provide our professional teams with safe environments in which to train and play.

“Moreover, such behaviour undermines the national effort in which our communities continue to play their part, making daily personal sacrifices to control the spread of the virus.

“It is in this context that we set high behavioural standards for our personnel which, in this instance, have not been met. Our response to the matter will be concluded internally.”

It has been reported the Birmingham City duo who broke coronavirus rules have been hit with a ten-day suspension by the club. 

This includes the pair being banned from training and coming into direct contact with squad members as well as playing matches.
