Leicester City have cancelled Sunday's training session and will seek to postpone Tuesday's Carabao Cup tie against Southampton following the helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium on Saturday night.
The helicopter belonging to owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha crashed in a car park shortly after taking off from the centre circle. It is believed he was on board, but a statement on any of the occupants has yet to be made.
Leicester players were due to take part in a light training session on Sunday after their 1-1 Premier League draw with West Ham, but have been told to stay at home.
As it stands, they are due to host Southampton in a Carabao Cup round of 16 tie on Tuesday night. However, in light of the potentially tragic situation, Leicester are set to seek to postpone the fixture.
They will need permission from the English Football League and the Saints before it can be pushed back. Leicester will argue that the players and club management, who were still in the stadium when the crash occurred, are in no fit state to compete following the helicopter crash.
The team are also due to travel to Cardiff on Friday for their next Premier League match although there is no suggestion as of yet that they are seeking to postpone Saturday's clash as well.
Leicester Women have announced that their game with Manchester United Women will be postponed. They tweeted: 'In light and in respect of the recent events at King Power Stadium our @FAWC_ fixture against @ManUtdWomen has been postponed. A newly arranged date will be communicated once confirmed.'
The seriousness of the situation was left in no doubt when footage of the wreckage emerged on Saturday night, showing the helicopter engulfed in flames after it lost control shortly after clearing the King Power Stadium.
Witnesses described the aircraft taking off from centre circle before hovering above the south eastern corner of the ground near Filbert Way before spiraling to the ground and erupting into a fireball.
Srivaddhanaprabha, who has owned Leicester since 2010, regularly left the King Power via his £2million Augusta Westland AW-169 helicopter but it remains unclear whether he was on it when it crashed.
The club confirmed he had attended the 1-1 draw on Saturday night.
Leicestershire police said in a statement: 'We are dealing with an incident in the vicinity of the King Power Stadium. Emergency services are aware and dealing.'
Both the BBC and Sky News have claimed Srivaddhanaprabha was one of five people on board the helicopter but as yet there has been no confirmation from the club.
It has been reported that Leicester directors attended an emergency meeting at the ground on Sunday morning.
