Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admits his squad is having a tough time preparing for games.
The Foxes have not been in the best form since the Premier League restarted after the initial coronavirus outbreak.
They failed to secure a top four finish last term, and have started this season inconsistently.
After winning three on the bounce, Leicester have lost the past two Premier League matches.
"In this period now it's very difficult - clearly a lot more difficult than when you're in a normal season and thinking about the games," said Rodgers to reporters.
"Now there is so much focus on lots of other things.
"[There is the issue of] the players' availability through Covid, having to play so many games in such tight timelines, travelling. Players have done brilliantly in this period to keep the intensity in the games but there's definitely a fraction of focus that's been lost on the field.
"And then off the field, it's hard for people to focus fully as well because there are so many different elements to preparing for the game."
