Spanish police quiz Leicester stars

Eight Leicester players are being questioned by Spanish police as a result of alleged incidents at their training camp in Spain.

Eight Leicester players are being questioned by Spanish police as a result of alleged incidents at their training camp in Spain.

The Foxes had flown out to La Manga for some warm weather training before returning at the weekend for the final leg of their battle to stay in the Premiership.

But for the second time City's trip to the Spanish resort will be remembered for the wrong reasons. The rest of the squad have flown back to England after cutting short their stay.

Four years ago striker Stan Collymore set off a fire extinguisher in a hotel bar and the squad were asked to leave their hotel and returned home.

Few details have emerged but a club spokesman confirmed: "The club is aware that eight players have been interviewed by Spanish police.

"This is a result of alleged incidents which took place during the club's training camp in Spain this week.

"The club is co-operating fully with the authorities in their investigations but, as these investigations are still ongoing, it is not in a position to make any further comments at this stage."
