Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois admits his battle with Petr Cech for No1 status is "awkward".
Speaking on international duty, the 22-year-old has revealed that the situation is not discussed between the two stoppers but it is in the forefront of his mind.
Courtois said: "We don't talk about the situation, but of course I know he has played 10 years at Chelsea and that now I am playing and for him it's not the nicest situation.
"But that is the decision of the board and the trainer.
"He is working hard in training to be ready when I cannot play or I am maybe not playing well. We work well together.
"Of course as a professional and a winner you always want to play every game, so we will see what the decision is of the coach.
"But of course I am a professional player and I want to play every game that is possible."
