Andre Schurrle has revealed his frustration at being ill.

Schurrle, 23, missed his last game – Germany against Ireland – due to illness and is hoping to be fit for Chelsea’s clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

But the 23-year-old signed by Chelsea for £18 million in 2013 could miss out this weekend if he doesn’t recover from his sickness in time for the game.

Schurrle’s importance to the Chelsea team is ever-growing too, the thunderous attacker is desperate to learn and is looking to become the ideal Jose Mourinho type player.

The German has revealed that Mourinho wants him to be more aggressive and even commit more fouls as the Portuguese tactician wants the World Cup winner to enforce himself on the pitch.

However, should Schurrle not be fit for Saturday, Mourinho has options to replace him. The former Real Madrid coach could opt to replace him with the reliable Brazilian, Willian, or he could choose to play Oscar in a wide role and start John Obi Mikel in midfield.
