Eden Hazard has said it would be "a plus for everyone" to have Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the Chelsea team this season.
Loftus-Cheek capped a positive season on loan at Crystal Palace when he featured in four of seven matches at the World Cup as England reached the semifinals.
Chelsea are adamant that Loftus-Cheek is not for sale, but coach Maurizio Sarri is uncertain whether he can offer the 22-year-old a big enough first-team role to keep him satisfied this season.
Hazard, however, has no doubt that Loftus-Cheek is ready to contribute straight away.
"Ruben is a fantastic player," the Belgium international told the London Evening Standard.
