Chelsea midfielder Chukwuemeka: Fans haven't yet seen my best

Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka feels he's finding his best match rhythm as he works back from long-term injury.

Chukwuemeka says there's more to come from as he gets match fit.

"It was quite tough," he admits to the Chelsea match programme. "I'd been waiting a long time for my breakthrough and after that goal I felt it was coming. I felt this could have been my season, but it obviously wasn't meant to be. I'm still grateful because, off the pitch, I've grown a lot, mentally as well.

"I just viewed it as an opportunity to grow stronger mentally, and strengthen myself physically, because that was one aspect I knew I needed to work on going into this season. I set myself the goal to come back stronger, to build more muscle mass, which I've done. I thank God, and hopefully there are more highs to come.

"With rhythm, with playing game after game there's a lot more to come. We've got so much attacking quality here, we understand each other and we've shown that in a few games as well. Hopefully, God willing, everyone just stays fit and I get a run of games with those players the sky's the limit, for sure."
