Did he really say this? What a weak mentality 😭💔: Gary Rowett makes an unbelievable statement about the club when asked about the game against Portsmouth.

Leicester City head into the weekend facing another defining moment in what has become an increasingly tense Championship campaign, with Gary Rowett urging everyone connected to the club to pull together.

The Foxes find themselves five points adrift of safety as the pressure continues to build at the wrong end of the table.

With the season entering its decisive weeks, every match now carries huge significance for a side still searching for a way out of trouble.

Leicester’s recent form has only added to the concern. Rowett’s side have failed to win any of their last five matches, a run that has left supporters frustrated and anxious about what may lie ahead if results do not improve quickly.

Despite the difficult position, Rowett insists the club cannot afford division at such a critical stage. The Leicester manager believes the only way to give themselves a chance of survival is for players, staff and supporters to remain together.

Speaking before the weekend fixture, Rowett made his message clear.

‘unity’

It was a simple but pointed call from a manager who understands the scale of the challenge facing his side. Leicester still have time to change the direction of their season, but the margin for error is now almost gone.

With the gap to safety beginning to look more serious, Rowett knows his players must respond immediately if they are to keep alive hopes of avoiding another damaging drop in the closing weeks of the campaign.
