Luke Thomas reveals the main focus after Leicester City's friendly loss

Leicester City youngster Luke Thomas believes players are already feeling the benefits of match action after friendly defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on Wednesday. The Foxes were beaten 1-0, as Daryl Horgan scored for Wanderers in the 80th minute. And even thought Thomas was disappointed not to secure a more positive result, the 20-year-old pointed to the benefits of the run-out.

"The first couple of games of pre-season... it's always hard to get the running back in the legs," the  left-back told LCFC TV. "That's what they're for, getting fitness in. The result didn't turn out the way we wanted it to today, but I suppose we will bounce back and go again on Saturday.   "The main focus at the minute is fitness and, over the time and games, the football is going to come and we'll start scoring goals and getting results that we want. The more games you play, like I say, you get fitter and fitter.   "The first two weeks of pre-season was hard, but that's what you expect in the first couple of weeks, which has helped, and then obviously to get these two games under the belt has always been a benefit to everyone's fitness."
