Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger is up for tomorrow's clash with Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah.

The pair played together for Roma.

Rudiger told BBC's Football Focus: “If I play, it will be a direct duel against Salah. The good thing is, I'm not slow!"

Rudiger also paid tribute to Salah, revealing his success is no surprise to him.

Rudiger added: "To be very honest, he is the most polite guy I have ever met in football. He is a fantastic person.

"Of course, you are always a bit surprised but I know his abilities and his potential and I knew he would be good for Liverpool."
