Tuchel Explains Why Rudiger was Left out of the Game Against Arsenal

The manager of Chelsea Football Club, Thomas Tuchel has explained why Antonio Rudiger was not on the team list for the game against Arsenal.

The German was speaking at a post-press conference after the Blue's defeat against the Gunners at Stamford Bridge. According to Tuchel, the defender had a groin injury before the London Derby on Wednesday, April 20th, 2022.

It's a groin pain a little, minor injury. I hope and the doctors told me today is unfortunately too soon. I don't think he will play against West Ham United.

Chelsea made a series of poor errors in their defensive department which led to Arsenal winning the game 4-2 pushing their hope of making the top four back on track. Tuchel's men have now lost three consecutive games across all competitions.
