(CNN) Three Leicester City players apologized Sunday after a video surfaced that reportedly shows them participating in a racist orgy in Thailand.

The tape was first obtained and reported by the Sunday Mirror

Leicester City released a statement saying the three soccer players are sorry and would be returning to the UK ahead of the rest of the squad.

"Our players at every level are expected to behave as representatives and ambassadors for our Football Club, both on official Club duty and in their personal lives, so we treat their conduct extremely seriously," it read.

"Tom Hopper, James Pearson and Adam Smith would like to convey their sincere apologies for their behaviour -- to the women involved in the incident, to the Club and its owners, to the Club's fans and to their families," the statement said.
