Loftus-Cheek: “I just have to be patient”

With just 33 minutes of Premier League action under his belt so far this season, Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek still feels his career with the Blues is "raw". "I'd like to have more appearances by now, but it's just the way my journey has gone, and I just have to be patient with it," Loftus-Cheek told Sky Sports. "I can see it as a positive. I'm playing for England, playing well when I play, and that's without too many appearances so it's still raw in that sense." "I really enjoyed playing and training with [Chelsea's squad], I could feel myself getting better every day and improving, but it got to a point where training wasn't enough and you need the exposure in the Premier League," he said. "That's when I took the chance to go to Palace, and even when that happened, I thought I could've done it earlier. "I started really enjoying my football, playing in the Premier League every week, and I felt the benefits."
