The Catalyst has suddenly lost his super-regular status with The Blues and, while admitting that the situation is a frustration, Mikel says he understands that the club's top stars are now laying stronger claims to shirts.

"Since I have been at Chelsea I have played games, but lately not so much. I think I am back to my best, but if the manager wants me to wait, because we have many big players and they all want to play, then I just have to wait,” Mikel declared.

He noted further that it’s bound to be a stiff challenge for shirts at a star-studded club like his "You can't blame them, because they are in the peak of their career and want to play every game.
