Andre Schurrle has blamed his unimpressive return to the Bundesliga on the lack of training he received during his time at Chelsea. The World Cup winner left Stamford Bridge for Wolfsburg in a £22million deal in January, having previously starred for Mainz and Bayer Leverkusen in the German league. After a bright start, setting up two goals against Hoffenheim on his debut, the 24-year-old admits he is 'stuck in a hole' after failing to make any impact in his last nine games. Speaking to Bild, Schurrle suggested his poor form was a repercussion of his time spent at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho.
'I'm still missing the last per cent,' he said. 'At top English clubs during the season the players are hardly loaded with any training, since it's almost all about regeneration and tactics.
'In England you can get your fitness through the season with the games. At Chelsea because we had the championship, Champions League and the different club competitions, we played every three days.'
