Rudiger missed the 1-0 win against West Ham due to an injury, and below reads what Tuchel said about that.
‘It is a groin in one leg and the other leg a bit the hamstring. He is somebody who plays through pain anyway and is totally used to it. It’s muscle pain, not even an injury but a huge discomfort.
‘He feels insecure because he’s not used to having muscle injuries. He feels like it could happen but he wants to come back. The plan is that he’s back in training on Tuesday for Thursday [against Man United] and hopefully we can stick to the plan.
‘He has no doubts and he made no doubts about it that he will play until the end of the season with everything he has. This is what did from day one and this is what he will do until the last minute, I’m 100 percent sure of that.’
Well, it is not yet confirmed as to his next team but as it stands, we are aware that the likes of Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester United will be bidding for him once he leaves Chelsea as they are interested in signing him.
