Ross Barkley - "I've played a lot of minutes. I feel as fit as I've ever felt before. I feel the amount of games I've played I'm ready to be called up, if called up."
In Chelsea's last 5 games he has started none and come on as a sub in 4 (not used in one) for a total of 71 minutes football. OK he played 90 minutes in the EFL (a game they lost against City) and 90 minutes in the Europa League where he achieved his only assist of the campaign against a Greek side. Does this really equate to a lot of minutes, does he really think he has already done enough to warrant a call up?
