​Chelsea midfielder Loftus-Cheek opens door for Crystal Palace return

Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek says there is a chance he may go back out on loan in January.

While the youngster is focused on breaking into the Chelsea team right now, he knows that things may change midway through the season.

He was on loan at Crystal Palace last season, but wanted to stay and compete for a midfield spot under new boss Maurizio Sarri.

When asked if another loan move to Palace was an option, Loftus-Cheek said to Sky Sports: "Possibly, but it is still far away, there are still a lot of games to play and I just have to see what happens.

"Right now I am at Chelsea and my focus is at Chelsea and learning at Chelsea. That is in the future and we will deal with that when it comes.

"I'm not sure when I am going to play. It is just down to me working hard in training, I don't know whether I am going to play or not play but for me it stays the same, I still train well and do everything the right way in case I do play."
