Soyuncu tells Leicester fans: I sincerely apologise

Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu has apologised for his red card in defeat at Bournemouth.

City were well-beaten after a torrid second half display on the south-coast, with their misery further compounded by a red card for Soyuncu.

The Turkish international has since sent a message to City fans.

"Every moment I put this jersey on, I try to be aware of my responsibilities on the pitch," he wrote on social media.

"I know I made all of you and myself upset with an instant mistake.

"More important, to be seen as a bad example is not a type of experience that I want to have.

"My teammates had to play without me due to my bad which I do not comprehend why I did that when I have a clear mind.

"My sincere apologies to all of my teammates and fans."
