Chelsea star Jorginho has admitted that he and the rest of the squad are going to "miss" Antonio Rudiger following the news that he is set to leave west London.
The German defender is out of contract at the end of the season and whilst the Blues were remaining hopeful that he would extend his Stamford Bridge stay, it now seems near impossible. The UK Government sanctions laid down on the club have halted negotiations over a new contract, with Thomas Tuchel confirming that the former AS Roma man had made the decision to quit Chelsea this summer.
Tuchel said: "The situation is that he wants to leave the club. He informed me of this in a private talk. We gave everything - me and the club - but we could not fight anymore because of the actions. Without the sanctions we would at least be able to carry on fighting, but our hands are tied. We don't take it personally. It is his decision.”
