Leicester City left back Ben Chilwell says the Foxes will not dwell on their defeat to Everton, and rather focus on their upcoming Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

The Foxes recovered from an early Tom Davies strike to take a 2-1 lead over the Toffees, but goals from Romelu Lukaku and Phil Jagielka handed Everton the win in the second half as they claimed all three points.

The 20-year-old says he is confident the Foxes will bounce back against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

‘We’ve got the Champions League game on Wednesday, which is another massive match for the club,’ Chilwell told the Leicester  City website

‘Everyone is confident going into it, even though we lost today (Sunday). We’ll go into it with the same form we’ve had previous to the Everton game.

‘It was great to get six wins before this, so obviously it would have been nice to carry it on, but Shakey (Craig Shakespeare) rotated the squad. He gave a few players the chance and obviously rested a few of the players for the Champions League game.

‘Hopefully, on Wednesday everyone will come back fit and fresh and everyone that’s involved, whether they start or come off the bench, will be ready to get the win.’

Chilwell says he was left frustrated after his side conceded four goals against Everton, but has credited the Foxes for showing a real fighting spirit to get back into the game.

‘Away from home, it’s obviously going to be difficult to win a game when you concede four goals,’ he added.

‘The big thing is the manner in which we conceded three of the goals, if not all four. Two set plays and conceding within the first 30 seconds of the game was difficult.

‘We had a few chances at the end of the game and if they had gone in, it would have been a different story.’

Leicester City will now turn their attention to the Champions League when they take on Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

The match at the Estadio Vicente Calderon kicks off at 20:45.
