Chelsea boss Lampard eases Rudiger injury concern

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard played down the injury suffered by Toni Rudiger during victory at Wolves.

Rudiger was withdrawn at half-time of the 5-2 win.

Lampard said, "He's had a groin issue which he bothered when he ran off the pitch near me. He slipped on to the metal which made him slide and adjust himself.

"Hopefully it's not too bad. It was more of a precaution because he felt a bit of pain, so we'll assess it over the next couple of days.

"It's a quick turnaround [for Tuesday] but hopefully [he'll be alright]."
