Cesar Azpilicueta insists Chelsea can have no more excuses for the rest of the season.
The Blues got their season back on track with a win over West Ham United on Sunday.
"If we go through everything there are also little things that can happen, the results as well as the confidence," Azpilicueta told the club's website.
"We have a lot of injuries as well right now but we have to deal with it. It is not an excuse. As I always say at the start of every season, we go for everything.
"Sometimes the consequences of arriving at the latter stages of every competition is that you play more games.
"We have to cope with it as we are competitors, and after the bad run we have had at home, conceding a lot of goals, it is nice to leave with a happy face."
