Ruben Loftus-Cheek has admitted there have been many positives for him during Chelsea's disastrous Premier League campaign after the midfielder revealed he is learning and growing from his time playing in the first team, reports the London Evening Standard.

Speaking about Chelsea's 3-0 loss at home to Manchester City on Saturday, he said: "It's always hard to lose at home.

"We came into the game with the aim to win and, like I say, it's hard, but we have to pick our heads up and go again because we've got another game soon.

"It's a tough mental challenge playing in any Premier League game, but especially against big teams like Man City. I'm always growing, particularly any time I'm outside my comfort zone, so I look forward to big games like this.

"[Sergio] Aguero has great ability and we saw that. He's got blistering pace and that's where we got done, on the counter-attack. It was a good experience for me to play against players like that. I am looking forward to playing more."
