Skipper Wes Morgan is confident that Leicester City will leave behind their dispiriting defeat by Arsenal and get their Premier League title challenge back on track.
Arsenal’s Danny Welbeck scored a last-gasp winner at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday night to condemn Leicester to just their third league defeat of the season and Morgan stressed that the players would bounce back quickly.
“It’s a disappointing result. To concede with the last kick of the game like that and to come away with nothing is hard to take,” the defender told the club’s website (www.lcfc.co.uk).
“We’re the type of team to fight for each other, have each other’s backs and do what’s necessary to try to help each other out.
“We’ll dust ourselves off and bounce back against Norwich in our next game.”
The defeat was not enough to knock Leicester off the top of the table, although it did cut their lead to two points.
Manager Claudio Ranieri gave the players a week off to recharge their batteries before their next game against Norwich City on Feb. 27.
“We’ll have a little rest and take our minds off the game,” Morgan added.
“It’s been a tough last three games so we’ll have some time off from football, and come back with a fresh mind raring to go. We’ll be back on it.”   

Mertesacker welcomes Welbeck return at key juncture
Danny Welbeck’s return from a long injury layoff will give Arsenal a much-needed boost as they enter the business end of the season, defender Per Mertesacker has said.
Welbeck, sidelined since last April with knee injuries, made his comeback against Leicester City on Sunday, grabbing an injury-time winner against the league leaders to keep Arsenal firmly in the title race.
Arsenal are third in the Premier League behind Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference and face potentially decisive fixtures over the next few weeks.
They take on Championship (second-tier) side Hull City in the FA Cup on Saturday followed by the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Barcelona in midweek and a Premier League trip to Manchester United the weekend after.
“For Danny to go through a bad, injured period where he kept believing in himself, when everyone maybe doubted him, it was a great chance for him to come in and show he was ready to give everything for the team,” Mertesacker told the club’s website (www.arsenal.com).
“We have long-term injuries, which gave us a bit of a struggle, especially in January, where we played in December and January with almost the same team.
“We are happy to have Danny now and a few others are not far away. We need our players—you could see that makes a difference.”
