Arjen Robben has insisted there is no rift between himself and manager Jose Mourinho over his injury problems and pledged his future to Chelsea.
Robben returned after a month on the sidelines, with a mysterious hamstring-related injury, to bewitch Middlesbrough in Chelsea's 1-0 weekend win and will be hoping to retain his place for the mid-week Champions League game.
The Dutch winger discounted reports that his slow comeback from his persistent injury problems led to differences with Mourinho and may have put his Stamford Bridge future in doubt.
He said: "I have got a very good relationship with the manager, that is the only thing I can say. I hear things sometimes but they are just nonsense."
Robben added: "I am very happy at Chelsea and I will stay here for a long time. There is never any pressure over the injuries, I have just had the time over the past couple of weeks to come back."
