Chelsea have blocked Ruben Loftus-Cheek from leaving this week.

The Sun says the midfielder is fuming as Chelsea have rejected loan offers from Monaco and Schalke.

And he fears a lack of game time could cost him a place in Gareth Southgate's squad for the upcoming Nations League games with Spain and Switzerland.

Both requests from Europe have been knocked back by the Blues - who have told Loftus-Cheek he is going nowhere.

The 22-year-old then watched on in despair as Bundesliga side Schalke instead bagged Sebastian Rudy from Bayern Munich.

With just 22 minutes of football this season he has lost patience and wants regular action to continue his development this season.
