The 36-year-old is already facing the end of his career due to his age. He is planning on starting a coaching career afterwards.
"First and foremost the team is flying, playing unbelievable," he told Daily Mail.
"Sometimes there's nothing you can do as a player. I started the first four games of the season and get injured and we lose at home to Liverpool and Arsenal away and the manager is asking 'how long till you are back?'
"And then we go 13 games unbeaten and you're back fit but you can't get in. And as a player you have to accept it.
When you've got a manager like Conte who's been honest with me from day one 'listen you're not getting back in the boys are playing great the team's flying', you haven't got a leg to stand on.
"I genuinely mean when I say it, but for me I am honestly hoping I don't play this season because it will mean they have kept winning."
