Rudiger proves a point
It was at the weekend that news emerged that Antonio Rudiger had opted to leave Chelsea when his contract comes to an end in the summer. Yet with the centre-back ruled out of Sunday's game against West Ham United due to injury, Thomas Tuchel had to wait until the trip to Old Trafford to discover that decision would impact the 29-year-old's performance.
"I’m maybe as curious as you are but I have no reason to doubt," the Blues head coach said ahead of the game. "He has cleared up his personal situation and we know what’s going on so this should normally give him a peaceful mindset to perform on the level that he demands from himself and that we demand."
