Chelsea won't be releasing Nathan Ake for loan this week.
The Daily Mail says Ake will stay at Chelsea this season to fight for a place in Jose Mourinho's first team.
The Blues controversially have 26 players out on loan but Ake will remain at Stamford Bridge.
"He has said that he really wanted to keep [me]. Not many boys of nineteen have been playing in the base at a club, though a lot of people seem to expect that sometimes," Ake told De Telegraaf.
"'I know I still have time and Mourinho is pleased with me in the team so far. The way he says something and makes things clear in training. For example, if you withdraw your foot, then he gets angry. He loves people who give everything every moment."
