Chelsea coach, Frank Lampard is hoping that Antonio Rudiger will not be out for long after sustaining an injury vs Wolves today.
Rudiger was making his first appearance after battling a serious knee injury in April, but he left the pitch for Kurt Zouma after picking up an injury.
However, Lampard is optimistic that the fast CB will be back to face Valencia in the UCL this week.
His words, “He’s had a groin issue which he bothered as he came off the pitch near me – he slipped onto the metal which made him have to slide and adjust himself so he bothered his groin,” Lampard explained in his post-match news conference.
“He ran off the pitch and unfortunately he bothered it then. It’s a quick turnaround but hopefully [he can play Valencia]. Hopefully not too bad.
“It’s more of a precaution because he did feel some pain, so we’ll assess it over the next couple of days.”
