JAKARTA – Leicester are trying to identify the supporters who abused Roy Keane and Ian Wright after the Arsenal legend complained about their behavior during Saturday's Community Shield match.
After Leicester beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley, Wright said he and Keane - who served as pundit for ITV - had been targeted by supporters sitting near their gantry. Leicester have asked Wright to help them in their search for these rogue supporters.
"Let me explain because obviously Leicester fans know how much I respect them, their owners and continue to raise Leicester and what they do," Wright said on Twitter.

"But what should I say, doing pandits from the gantry where we were, some Leicester fans. They know what words they said to me, you let yourself down bro, big time.
"Leicester shouldn't act like that, certain fans you don't represent Leicester," added Wright
Wright also reported that Keane, a former Ireland international, was also the victim of a slur against his nationality.
Leicester have pledged to investigate, with the penalty being a ban for any supporters identified as having committed the abuse.
The club tweeted: “Thanks for not letting this go, @IanWright0. We would welcome your assistance in identifying those involved so that they can be held accountable. We wholeheartedly condemn all forms of discrimination.”
