Denis Zakaria is seeking clear-the-air talks with Chelsea manager Graham Potter.
The summer loanee from Juventus insists "I believe in myself 100 per cent" but has not even made the bench since Potter took over four weeks ago.
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims Zakaria's predicament will soon be discussed within the club.
The Switzerland anchorman, 25, was linked with Manchester United and Arsenal when he was with Borussia Monchengladbach but instead joined Juve in January this year.
He played 13 times in his half-season for the Italian giants, notching a goal and an assist.
