Chelsea youngster Ruben Loftus-Cheek has revealed he has had no contact with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte since joining Crystal Palace on loan in the summer.
“I’ve had no contact [with Conte]. I’m focused at Palace for the season,” Loftus-Cheek told the Croydon Advertiser.
“I have a good relationship with Eddie Newton, he is helping me behind the scenes.
“There’s no bitterness I haven’t got the chance at Chelsea. They are a massive club and I understand opportunities don’t come to everyone often.
“For me, I never would want to rewind the time because I learned a lot about myself mentally, and I think I have got mentally stronger.
“That period of two years was my journey but now I’ve got the chance to play.”
