When Antonio Conte made nine changes, for the visit of Watford on Monday night, the most changes ever made by a Chelsea manager for a Premier League fixture, one player was conspicuous by his absence.
Many Vital Chelsea members questioned why Reuben Loftus-Cheek wasn`t given a rare run out.
It turns out that the midfielder is nursing a back injury and wasn`t risked.
However, lurking in the media this morning and as reported by The Times, the inference is given that Loftus-Cheek isn`t that happy with life at Stamford Bridge at the moment.
The 21-year-old midfielder was hoping that this would be the season he established himself in the squad and broke into the first-team, but that hasn`t happened.
To that effect, our reference source is reporting that Loftus-Cheek could, this summer, demand a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Could we see another home-grown product moved on or will Loftus-Cheek get the opportunity to shine next season?
