Juan Mata moves to end speculation over his Chelsea future by insisting he is happy

Chelsea star Juan Mata has moved to end rumours over his future by insisting he is happy at Stamford Bridge.

Mata has made just one start this season under Jose Mourinho due to concerns over a thigh injury, but the 25-year-old insists he is now fully fit after a good week of training following his omission from the Spain squad. "We are doing a very good week of training and I feel really good. I'm looking forward to playing. Yes I am back to 100 per cent," added Mata. "It was a difficult pre-season for me because I had an injury, I never had this before. It took me a little bit more time to get fit but now I'm feeling really good. "I had four weeks off [ahead of pre-season training] and to be honest that's too much time for me because in the last five or six years I didn't have this amount of rest. "But it was good to rest, to be far from football and to get ready because I think it's going to be a long season again. Can I play 70 games again like last year? It depends on every player. "For me the best thing is to play as much as I can because I love to play, I love playing at the weekend and in the middle of the week. If you are having a lot of games during the season, maybe the training is the games."
