Leicester City defender Luke Thomas has apologised to fans for last week's loss at Nottingham Forest.
The 2-0 derby defeat extended Leicester's Premier League losing run to four games, dropping them to 15th.
Thomas, 21, said he was especially "devastated" by the loss as someone who grew up supporting the club.
"No-one wants to lose to their local rivals," he said.
"For the fans it was a difficult one to take and we apologise to them because we weren't good on the day at all.
"I know what the rivalry means to fans. I was a Leicester fan when I was young, I used to go to games quite a lot myself.
"I know Forest against Leicester is a massive game. We always want to win those games, and know the fans hate losing them.
"It's a hard one to take, especially for me as a Leicester fan - I was devastated."
