Ruben Loftus-Cheek was probably the only player wearing a Chelsea shirt on Sunday at Everton that could be happy with his performance. The 26-year-old midfielder looked like the Blues' only real outlet when the visitors were coming under immense pressure from the hosts.
Loftus-Cheek made his 50th start in a Chelsea shirt at Goodison Park at the weekend, which tells you all you need to know about his time at Stamford Bridge given he made his debut for the club in December 2014. His time at Chelsea, albeit with a few loan spells elsewhere, has been riddled with injury problems, restricting the powerful midfielder from being able to really kick on in his career.
Recently, though, Loftus-Cheek has been in great form, whenever he has been called upon. The problem is, though, Thomas Tuchel has the likes of Jorginho, N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic who are seemingly above Loftus-Cheek in the midfield pecking order.
