Lots of Chelsea fans believe that Ruben Loftus-Cheek should return to the midfield once the England international has returned to full fitness after nearly nine months out.
Same as last season when we played our best football.
RLC – Jorginho – Kante

The 24-year-old midfielder returned to the pitch this week as Loftus-Cheek played nearly an hour of football for the Blues in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Brentford B (per Chelsea’s official website). The Chelsea academy graduate ruptured his Achilles last year in a charity match against the New England Revolution, as reported by The Guardian.
A number of Chelsea fans are keen on seeing the midfielder return to the starting XI when he is given the all-clear after Twitter user CFC-Blues asked supporters to name their ‘best midfield three’ if every midfielder in the Blues squad is fit, with Loftus-Cheek being mentioned in the majority of trios.
Frank Lampard is yet to nail on with a formation for Chelsea, with the former Derby manager changing between a 4-2-3-1 and a 4-3-3 (per Transfermarkt).
