Cardiff have sacked one member of staff and are set to discipline another amid claims that their team to play Crystal Palace last weekend was leaked to the South London club, reports The Guardian. It is understood that the action has been taken after the allegations emerged on Friday morning.
It is thought the person sacked has been dismissed for gross misconduct following an internal inquiry at the club.
It is understood Cardiff have complained to the Premier League about the circumstances surrounding the alleged leaking of their team. Palace's sporting director Iain Moody worked for Cardiff until earlier this season. He took up a post at Selhurst Park last November.
It has been reported that Cardiff believe Moody might have used his contacts at the Welsh club, or close to Cardiff, to find out which players would start against Palace.
Moody, though, has denied the allegations, telling The Sun: "That is incredibly, extraordinarily untrue. That is untrue, completely untrue."
