Chelsea midfielder Loftus-Cheek: Best shape of my career | OneFootball

Ruben Loftus-Cheek believes Chelsea will see him in the best shape of his career this season.

Following a successful and injury-free campaign in the Premier League with Fulham last term, Loftus-Cheek admits he's never felt better.

"I had last season as a season where I can find my feet and it definitely felt like that at the start," he explained to chelseafc.com. "I was struggling mentally and needed to focus on just taking risks in training and get that feel back.

"But it eventually came and I was doing really well in games, so I've had my injury and I've had a season now to get fit and feel confident in my body and this season is where I hit the ground running.

"I feel really fit now and strong, and hopefully the injuries stay away. Last season was my first full injury-free season which is a massive positive for me, because I always used to get niggles.

"Even though I was fit I'd be out for a week or a couple of days, miss a couple of matches, but last season was good for my body to be fit every training session and available for every game."
