A 1-0 home defeat to the Swans on Saturday has left the Foxes 23rd in the Sky Bet Championship table, four points from safety with four matches remaining this season.

Summarising the reverse, which came courtesy of Žan Vipotnik’s 53th-minute strike, the goalkeeper expressed his frustration at the manner of the goal, before us then being unable to find a goal of our own.

“I’m struggling to find any words for it, to be honest,” the Poland native admitted, following full-time at King Power Stadium. “Again, it was one of those games like we’ve had in the last few where we’ve given a silly goal away which is easily avoidable.

“Obviously, we find ourselves in a position where we have to chase the game, which is never easy in the position that we’re in.

“These are the moments we have to take care of and make sure that we are clinical. We need to finish the chances we create. At this minute, nothing seems to go our way, it all seems to go against us.

“We probably went into a panic mode after we conceded but we still kept going, kept pushing and it just wasn’t enough today. The one thing I can say is that we’ve given it everything we had but there’s still four games left and we’ve got to keep the belief.

“Certainly every single one of us is keeping that belief, even though everyone might have written us off, but there’s still a lot to play for and we’re not going to give up.”

Heading to Fratton Park on Saturday for a 12:30pm kick-off against Pompey, another team in the fight at the bottom, it’s a game Leicester must put everything into in order to begin turning around the current situation, the 25-year-old believes, putting the setbacks from the last few games behind us.

He added: “We’re going to have to focus on what’s ahead of us, what Portsmouth are going to do, what we are going to do to stop them and obviously to be clinical and finish our chances off and come back with three points.

“It sounds blatant and we keep repeating this but now is probably the time where we need to keep the togetherness and the belief. That’s the one thing we cannot lose. If we do, then it’s not going to look good.

“As tough as it is, this is the time we have to look each other in the eyes and we have done this and carry on working and improving and keeping the faith going to Portsmouth. We have to give it our all. It’s going to be hard to deal with this result for the next couple of days but there’s no time to waste now.

“Since we came back from the international break, these are the seven cup finals we have and we cannot look ahead of Portsmouth and the three left. Portsmouth is the one now.

“We have to treat it like the last game of the season and play for everything. All we can be doing is carrying on giving our best and take that to the games and hopefully we come up with the result against Portsmouth. There’s no other way.”
