Chelsea boss Mourinho eager to bring through Loftus-Cheek

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he's keen to introduce Ruben Loftus-Cheek to the first team this season.

The midfielder made his Premier League debut against Manchester City.

"I know it was a couple of minutes but Loftus-Cheek made his Premier League debut against Man City (pictured above). It's our idea to think about the future, and when I come to a club with four years' contract it means that I am not going to stay for four months. I have to try to anticipate what is normal - players getting older, preparing the kids for the future.

"But I also know Chelsea's nature is to win, or at least to fight to win, so it's more difficult to do that in the team with the profile we have."
