Jorginho insists he is happy to fight for his place at Chelsea.

The Italy midfielder has not started a Premier League match since October and did not get off the bench in his side's past two league matches.

"I think that's good for the team," Jorginho said of the competition for places.

"[The] level of the team is higher and competition is good. So we are more competitive between us, the level of the training is higher and everything is better. We just try to work even harder to have a chance to play.

"Everyone wants to play, but the most important thing is that we try to win, and we are winning so I am ok and when the call comes, I am working hard to be prepared for that."
