Ryan Bertrand urges Chelsea to play him this season

Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand has claimed that he hopes to establish himself within the Blues squad this season.

The 23-year-old, who was involved in England's 2-1 win over Italy in a friendly on Wednesday, is currently number two behind left-back Ashley Cole at Stamford Bridge.

"Hopefully I'll go on and have a good season," Bertrand told BBC Sport. "I played 15 games last season, so if I get 20-25 games it will show progress."

Bertrand has been with the Blues since 2006.
