Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has reiterated the club's stance that Juan Mata is not for sale.
The Spanish winger has recently been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur after starting just one of the Blues' opening three matches in the Premier League.
However, Mourinho insists that he is merely resting Mata following a busy summer for the 25-year-old.
"There is no chance Juan goes," the Portuguese is quoted as saying by Goal.com. "He had a very small pre-season after the Confederations Cup, and during that pre-season he was injured. He started training two days before we played the first league match."
Mata joined Chelsea from Valencia in summer 2011 for £23.5m.
