- The Premier League will announce if Leicester has breached the regulations
- The Foxes already face a tough fight for Premier League survival
- Hear It's all starting! Why Manchester United might have to sell Kobbie Mainoo or Alejandro Garnacho
Leicester will find out early next week whether they will face a possible points deduction for breaching the Premier League's spending rules.
The governing body must announce whether the Foxes have breached its profitability and sustainability regulations, which allow clubs to lose no more than £105m over a three-year period. That figure will be lower for Leicester because they spent last season in the Championship.
Even without a points deduction, Leicester face a tough fight for survival. They sit 19th in the table, two points from safety, and face crucial home games against Crystal Palace and Fulham next week.
Boss Ruud van Nistelrooy said: 'The conversations I have had with the hierarchy have been very good. When I accepted the job I had many questions about these topics.
“For me it was very important to be able to understand where the club is and where they want to go, and what my role would be in that.
'We started working together and so far there's been no sign that anything (I'm told) is wrong. Things have developed completely as stated at the time. As long as that is the case, we will be aligned. “I don't expect that to change.”
If Leicester were to suffer a points deduction it would be a huge blow to their survival hopes.
Ruud van Nistelrooy said he has had good conversations with the owners about the situation.
Two of Van Nistelrooy's predecessors, Brendan Rodgers and Enzo Maresca, were unhappy with the level of communication from senior figures about the club's financial situation.
Leicester have lost their last five league games and are expected to make numerous changes for Friday's FA Cup third-round match against Queens Park Rangers.
