Leicester City have terminated the contract of Dennis Wise.

The club has decided to sack the former England player after an incident on their pre-season tour of Finland resulted in Calum Davidson suffering a fractured cheekbone.

Leicester suspended Wise and sent him home in disgrace.

The statement released by the club said: "The board have given Dennis Wise notice of termination in accordance with his contract.

"This decision has been taken following a proper investigation of an incident which occurred on 18 July at the club's training camp in Finland.

"Mr Wise, who attended a disciplinary hearing chaired by football club chairman Martin George on Friday, 26 July, was found to have committed an act of serious misconduct."

The club will now expect legal action from Wise's agent, Eric Hall who promised legal action of his client was sacked.
