AdminGary Rowett has challenged his Leicester City players to prove they still have the fight required to keep their season alive when they return to action on Tuesday night.
The Foxes head into another crucial fixture with pressure continuing to build around the squad after failing to take advantage of previous opportunities to improve their position.
Leicester have been given chances in recent weeks to drag themselves clear of danger, yet once again they have been left reflecting on what might have been.
Rowett did not hide his frustration after the latest setback, admitting that his side have so far failed to show the determination needed in key moments.
The Leicester manager made it clear that words inside the dressing room will mean very little unless they are followed by the right response on the pitch.
Speaking after the match, Rowett said:
‘For me, we turn up Tuesday and we have to do everything we can to win the game. It’s easy saying it. We’ve had two or three opportunities to show that extra bit of drive and we haven’t quite find it. We have to see if we can find it Tuesday”
His comments underline the growing concern surrounding Leicester’s mentality during the closing weeks of the campaign. Supporters have watched the side struggle to seize big moments, and Tuesday now represents another test of character.
For Rowett, the message is simple — Leicester must finally match their words with action when it matters most.
