Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has once again ruled out the possibility of midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek leaving Stamford Bridge on loan in January.

Loftus-Cheek, who has scored five goals in his last six appearances, is wanted by a number of clubs, including Crystal Palace and West Ham.

The England international has not started a Premier League game this term, but when asked if he will give any assurances that he will play more in order to keep him, he replied: “No. I want him to stay with me, to stay with us. So I think that there is no chance (of him leaving).”

Chelsea take on Wolves on Wednesday night and Sarri says he has a fully fit squad to choose from. He will make a decision on whether Mateo Kovacic (ankle) and Marcos Alonso (back) are worth risking after picking up minor injuries against Fulham on Sunday.
