Chelsea's Joe Cole reluctant to plan future

Chelsea midfield ace Joe Cole turns 28 today.

The fit-again playmaker admits he's unwilling to discuss his future plans after 18 months of injury hell.

"Who knows?" he told the chelseafc.com. "I keep training, and with the setbacks I've had I am more professional so now I can only see positive things ahead.

"I cannot see myself getting injured like that again, my body is as strong as it's ever been, and I'm looking at the next 10 years of my career, as I see it I'm fit as a fiddle and want to play on forever.

"I am one of the more experienced ones here now, I've played a lot of football in different positions and I want to use that to help Chelsea, so I'll just keep going, keep playing and enjoying my football, the age thing makes no difference. I'm enjoying it at the moment and it's great to be back."
