Leicester City have apologised to staff after they were informed they would not receive their salaries until after Christmas - reversing a policy the club have always followed in recent years.
An email sent to all staff, seen by Daily Mail Sport, said that the decision had been taken to pay staff on December 31. The usual date for salary payments is the final day of the month, but in the past Leicester had brought this forward to allow staff to bank their December pay cheque before Christmas.
The policy applies to all staff at the club including players and management.
