Laurent Koscielny said his teammates had to repair the damage to their confidence after Leicester's 3-0 win over Arsenal, which left a chance to seal one of the top four spots.
To give up three goals in three losses over the last seven days means that the good vibrations created by the 1-0 victories at Watford and Napoli are already a distant memory.
"This week we are going through a difficult time, but we have to stay together," Koscielny told Goal.com at King Power.
"I believe in the quality of every player on this team because we have played well in recent months.
"When you're unbeaten, it's not easy and I think everyone fought for it. I want to keep my head up because it's football. The end is near and we have not fought all this season for nothing. "
"The form on the outside is not good at the moment," he added.
"We won in Naples and it was a difficult match, because the atmosphere was very difficult, but when the confidence is a little weak, it is difficult to return. We must stay together every day to give more to the team.
"We have to give five per cent more every day to get that confidence and go back to our highest level. We have the quality and we have shown it this season, but now we have five games in front of us and everyone is so important to our future. We must fight.
In anticipation of Thursday's UEFA Europa League semi-final with Valencia, Koscielny made it clear that our busy schedule would not be an excuse for another bad performance.
"Of course, we played a lot of games every three days, but we have a great team.
"We need everyone ready and helping the team produce the best results. We lost injured players but we still have a team of good players.
"Trust is the most important thing in football, more than quality. It's about working together and giving that commitment to the team. Alone, we can not do anything. Together we can achieve our goals. "
