Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger is expected to shake off the knock suffered in defeat at Liverpool.

The German international defender had to be helped off the pitch by two physios on Sunday after sustaining a problem in the first half.

Rudiger told the London Evening Standard on leaving the ground that he hoped 'it wasn't too bad', he went for a scan on Monday.

It is believed the 26-year-old suffered only minor damage and any concerns that he might miss the rest of the season have been ruled out.

Rudiger will not be considered to face Slavia Prague in the second leg of Chelsea's Europa League quarter-final on Thursday night.
