Siem de Jong has called on Newcastle United to buck up their ideas after defeat to Swansea City.
The 26-year-old Holland international scored within 14 minutes of coming off the bench after almost eight months on the sidelines, but could not prevent the Magpies from slipping to a 3-2 home defeat at the hands of Swansea on Saturday.
De Jong told nufcTV: "It's a really important one. We just need the points and it doesn't matter against who, but if you lose against Leicester, of course the teams below you come closer.
"We know how important it is and hopefully we can turn it around next week."
