Bertrand enjoying Forest loan

[Madmax 9,219]

England Under-21 defender Ryan Bertrand is determined not to stand still this season as he looks to eventually make an impression at Chelsea

"It all depends what your position is at a club, and who else is in that role, but going out on loan is a fantastic thing to do," he said.

"You go out and play games instead of sitting still. It is important to develop. Going out on loan has benefited me."

Bertrand feels seeing the likes of Gibbs and Wilshere following in the footsteps of James Milner and Adam Johnson into the senior set-up can only work as an inspiration for all of the Young Lions squad.

"It is massively important," the Chelsea defender said.

"You see the boys who have gone up and done well, then managed to stay in the England team, it has benefited them really well.

he's a great player, Bertrand has abright future, i'd love to see him back at Chelsea making a name for himself here.

[Cameron 30]

Good player, and I'm sure he'll become a decent left back in the PL for some one ... just not for us.

Really have no idea if the club consider him an option for the future or not, he has plenty of experience and is a very good left back. I hope he does come back and get his chance, but i have a feeling that it is not going to happen for him now.
