A group of die-hard Leicester City supporters has been banned from using the club's famous cardboard "clappers" at games.

The fan-like items, which make a loud noise when hit into the palm of a hand, are given out before every match.

But about 500 fans were told they could not use them at a Champions League game against Club Brugge on Tuesday, the Leicester Mercury reported.

The club blamed the "behaviour of a small number of individuals".

Fans in the King Power stadium's L section were told the use of the "clap banners" had been "suspended for the foreseeable future".
