Chelsea midfielder Chukwuemeka staying calm over fitness issues

Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is staying calm over his fitness issues this season.

The former Aston Villa prospect is in his second campaign with the Blues.

Chukwuemeka said: It's very frustrating - no one likes getting injured because it's hard to build momentum and rhythm, but I always remember that God is with me and everything happens for a reason.

"I have to keep my head up and keep going."

He added: The goal, going into the season, was to get back into Europe and win a trophy - and we've got big opportunities to do that. We've got to keep working hard."
