Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has apologised following allegations that he made a racial slur in a casino.
The Sun on Sunday published a video of the alleged incident, which is believed to have taken place on 26 July.
It appears to show Vardy directing a racist slur at another patron of the casino, and repeatedly telling him to "walk on".
Thr 28-year-old footballer said: "I wholeheartedly apologised for any offence I've caused."
