John Obi Mikel has welcomed competition in midfield from new Chelsea signing Ramires.
The Brazil international is waiting to make his Blues debut since arriving from Benfica.
"I haven't seen much of him, I didn't know him until he came here," Mikel told chelseafc.com. "He's obviously a good player for Chelsea to pay money for him, and hopefully he will settle in quickly and play some games.
"You don't expect to play every game when you have 60 games a season, you will miss some. I have been here five years now and I'm used to it."
