Arsenal and Chelsea lead tributes to Leicester crash victims

Premier League action resumed on Sunday, with Burnley, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Arsenal players holding a minute's silence before each fixture, as well as donning black armbands as a mark of respect for the victims of the helicopter crash at Leicester City on Saturday. 

It is being widely reported that the helicopter, belonging to Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was on board the aircraft at the time of the crash; alongside two crew members, his daughter and another unidentified person. 

As of yet there are no concrete reports from either the Police or Leicester City club officials, and so until these emerge, there is only speculation to base reports from at this time.

Leicester fans have been visiting the site of the crash, their home ground the King Power Stadium, where they are leaving floral tributes and other club memorabilia in support of the victims of the crash.

The owner is thought to have a very high standing among the Leicester supporters; Srivaddhanaprabha dragged the club from relative obscurity to a historic Premier League title and a place in the Champions League merely two years ago.
