There has been no player over the past few seasons who has better personified reliability, with his industry in the middle of the park playing a key role in Leicester City's title success, before filling the exact same role at Stamford Bridge.

Finding himself on the bench, week in, week out, under new head coach Thomas Tuchel, then, is not something the France international is accustomed to.
