Ruben Loftus-Cheek has threatened to leave Chelsea if he is not guaranteed first-team football next season.
The 22-year-old has made 31 appearances for the Blues since making his debut in December 2014, 19 coming as a substitute, and the lack of opportunities led to him spending last season on loan at Crystal Palace.
Loftus-Cheek came off the bench in England’s 2-1 win over Tunisia and could be handed a starting berth against Panama on Sunday if Dele Alli fails to recover from a thigh strain.But the midfielder knows he needs to be playing regularly at club level in order to remain in contention for his country.
