Leicester to show support for Jamie Vardy as club release 30,000 masks in protest against FA call to uphold ban

Leicester City have printed 30,000 Jamie Vardy masks ahead of their Boxing Day clash with Everton as the club continue to show their anger at the England striker's three-match suspension.

Vardy was sent off at Stoke on December 17 for a two-footed challenge on Mame Biram Diouf, with referee Craig Pawson deeming the foul reckless enough to warrant a straight red.

The reigning Premier League champions plan to protest against the FA's decision to uphold the original decision, by encouraging fans to wear the masks inside the stadium during their clash with the Toffees.

Leicester felt they had a strong case for the red card to be overturned, meaning Vardy could play over the festive period, but following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, the appeal was rejected.
