Home fans displayed a banner about the tragic helicopter crash in October 2018 that saw Srivaddhanaprabha and others killed.
The banner said: “Welcome to Cov, IOL. Always outnumbered, never outgunned,” with an image of an exploding helicopter.
The offensive banner was seen on motorway bridges on the M69 and removed by police.
Coventry released a statement to say that they ‘completely condemn’ the incident.
“Coventry City will work with West Midlands Police to identify those who created and displayed these banners, and take appropriate action against them.
“Such behaviour has no place in football or society, and these people are not welcome at our football club and will be subject to bans.”
Leicester also released a statement of their own, adding: “We note with disappointment the disrespectful actions of a minority of opposition supporters, mocking the tragic events that deeply affected our club and community.
“Such behaviour stands in contrast to the values of respect and unity that football should embody.
“We are grateful to Coventry City FC and the wider community who stand with us in condemning these actions. We will work with all parties to support the identification and appropriate response to those involved.”
Coventry went on to win the match 3-1, with 10-man Leicester suffering just their fourth defeat in the Championship this term.
