"I do not think I've lost my place in the team because I've never been undisputed," he said. "The important thing is to play well if I'm selected.
"Besides, I'm sure that whoever is picked will do well. I have no doubt about that. I always support my team-mates.
"Every player likes to have continuity and I am no different. But sometimes you don't get in because the coach decides that someone is better than you.
"And anyway, the team comes above all else."
Chelsea’s goalkeeper coach, meanwhile, has expressed his dismay at seeing Petr Cech’s fall from the first team.
Christophe Lollichon says that although Thibaut Courtois’ rise to first choice at Stamford Bridge has been good for the team, he has struggled to stay positive for Cech.
“I have a relationship with Petr, who is a special person. We’ve been working together (at Chelsea) for eight years. Our relationship goes beyond just the sporting side,” he said.
“There is always that moment when a young goalkeeper arrives.
“The decision to make Thibaut No1 is the manager’s (Jose Mourinho). Then, if it’s a question of rotation, we might discuss it. But above all, it’s the manager’s call.”
