LOFTUS-CHEEK TALENT 'THREATENING'
Gareth Southgate says Ruben Loftus-Cheek has suffered at Chelsea because senior players have felt threatened by him.
The midfielder has been at Chelsea since he was a child, but has struggled to break into the first-team at Stamford Bridge, and is spending this season on loan at Crystal Palace.
Southgate said: "He has been able to battle through difficult spells at Chelsea, training with senior players who recognise his talent so get into him in training.
"Have they kept him in his place? Yes, I imagine they probably saw the threat.
"This season going out and playing has helped him. In the early season I saw him and he showed flashes of what we saw against Germany. I think he can affect big matches like he did."
