Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic admits he misses Branislav Ivanovic.

The defender left Chelsea last month after featuring 376 times for the Blues as he signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Zenit St Petersburg.

Matic and Ivanovic will link up this weekend on international duty for Serbia and the Chelsea midfielder is looking forward to catching up.

“Believe me, I cannot wait to have a cup a coffee with him alone," Matic told Blic.

"I really miss him. I'm used to seeing him every morning in training, but what to do, that's life."
