Players of the club, including Wilfred Ndidi, have been sending messages of prayer.
Ndidi helped the team earn a point at home against West Ham in Saturday’s premier league match, after he scored an 89th minute equalizer.
Reports confirmed the crash happened after the match at the King Power Stadium, but it wasn’t until Sunday morning before the identities of the occupants of the helicopter was confirmed.
A timeline of the crash as reported by Sky Sports detailed that the helicopter conveying the Thai owner took off from the center of the King Power stadium, but two minutes later emergency services received calls of a crash in the club’s car park.
Meanwhile, Ndidi who had also tweeted a message in support of an injured teammate, followed up that tweet with emojis of three praying hands.
Cryptic but it is believed the message was posted about the same time news of teh crash was announced.
Tough game, +1 point. Wishing @DanAmartey a quick recovery
