Quarterly Review: 3 things that have gone wrong for Chelsea in the 2016/17 season so far

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

This one is a bit surprising.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is the jewel in the crown of the Chelsea academy, but under Antonio Conte he has largely faded into the background.

It would seem that the Italian rates Chalobah more highly than him – which is fine: but Loftus-Cheek certainly has the talent to play a role.

Conte must change this going forward, or he could risk stalling Loftus-Cheek’s career.
