Andriy Shevchenko has admitted that he is unsure if he will earn a permanent return to AC Milan at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at Milan from Chelsea after a disappointing spell in the Premier League.

Shevchenko has struggled to establish himself in Carlo Ancelotti's plans this season, but he is keen to stay with the Rossoneri.

"The truth is that I may not be given the chance to stay at Milan," Shevchenko told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I know that it has been a difficult season, but I would love to stay put.

"I will keep trying as hard as I can to prove that I can still do good things for this club.

"At least I am getting a chance to play some games now and that makes everything easier.

"It has been disappointing not to get more playing time, but that's just the way it is at a club like Milan."
