'The result is not important - we play to honour a man who did so much for our club'

Leicester manager Claude Puel says the result is "not important" when they play Cardiff on Saturday - their first match since the club's owner died in a helicopter crash at the weekend.

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four others were killed in the crash outside King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Puel says it was the Leicester players' decision to go ahead with the Premier League match at Cardiff City.

"Playing football has not been at front of our minds this week," he said.

"But for this weekend, and all the matches thereafter, we play to honour a man who did so much for our club. The result is not important."

Tuesday's Carabao Cup tie between Leicester and Southampton at King Power Stadium was postponed in the aftermath of Saturday's crash.

All Premier League matches this weekend will be preceded by a minute's silence, and players will wear black armbands.
