Winger Miles Benjamin insists the club's injury-stricken squad is not feeling sorry for itself after Saturday's last-gasp loss to London Irish.
The 26-year-old made his first start for Tigers since the Heineken Cup fixture in Treviso eight months ago having now recovered from a knee injury.
His absence from the team has been one of several well-documented injuries that have once again decimated Leicester's ranks at the start of their Aviva Premiership campaign.
But Benjamin says that Leicester's problems are similar to those of other clubs around the country and that the squad will just get on with the job at hand.
"We have got some injuries but we don't feel sorry for ourselves," he said.
"Everyone in the squad feels good enough to play in this side and we are not the only side in the league crippled by injuries, that's the way the game is going.
"Every team has a big squad these days and when you have periods with plenty of injuries, you have to try and get the results while you are going through it."
With wingers like Niall Morris, Scott Hamilton and Gonzalo Camacho all on the long-term injury list, Benjamin is likely to get a second straight start at Gloucester next weekend.
With the Cherry & Whites struggling to find some form too, Kingsholm may not be a place for the faint-hearted.
"They have struggled on their travels but are a different side at home," said Benjamin, "especially if a side like Leicester are going there.
"We will be geared up for the trip and we need to turn our season around and get back on track to where we want to be."
The former Worcester man thought that a lack of accuracy at key moments cost Leicester a second successive defeat in the 22-19 reverse at home to London Irish on Saturday.
Benjamin took some solace in an injury-free return to action but was frustrated by the narrow defeat.
"We wanted a response after last week at Bath and, up to a point, we got it," he said. "And I am glad to come through it unscathed on a personal point of view.
"Training has been good and everyone was very motivated. All last week, everyone was geared up to getting it right.
"We were not as competitive as we wanted to be at Bath. But we were way more competitive this week.
"It went down to the wire against a good side who have been in good form. We were evenly matched and someone had to lose.
"Unfortunately, they were more accurate than us at crucial moments and it was quite a scatty game because neither side put many phases together.
"It came down to penalties and they were more accurate at converting the opportunities they had."
