Leicester City defender Jack Hobbs says he was disappointed with their FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace but is happy to focus on promotion.

The Foxes suffered a 2-1 loss in their third-round replay on Wednesday.

Hobbs told BBC Radio Leicester: "We went there to win but we didn't play to our full potential.

"The league is our main priority and if we can go to Yeovil and get three points we will put real pressure on those chasing us."

Foxes defender Aleksandar Tunchev was stretchered off with a knee injury during the first half at Selhurst Park.

Hobbs added: "Some players have picked up a few knocks, which is not really what we needed.

"But we'll push on.. and I'm sure whoever's playing will do a good job."

Leicester travel to Yeovil for a League One match on Monday.
