Chelsea midfielder Nathan Ake doesn't expect to be made available for loan.

Ake is happy with his lot at Stamford Bridge.

He told NUSport: "It is clear that I will not be loaned and I am pleased with how it is going at Chelsea.

"This season I've been allowed to play a few games and in my mind I'm ever closer to the first eleven.

"If I am loaned out, I am once again further away."
