Schuerrle happy to fight for his place

LONDON - German World Cup winner Andre Schuerrle has ruled out a move away from Chelsea despite failing to secure a regular starting place. Schuerrle has been troubled by injury and illness since helping his country to the World Cup title in July and says he has no intention of leaving the club. “The last few weeks I have been able to intensively train and fight myself back into the team,” he said. “Things are getting better. Nevertheless, in a phase with less operating time, transfer rumours are always coming up. Of course I want to be on the pitch as much as possible and score goals for my club. In a team like Chelsea, with many top players, you have to prove yourself again and again....but this is not an issue for me. I feel comfortable here and would not think of such a thing.”
