Leno reveals Arsenal teammates hate facing 'bitter' Chelsea defender Rudiger

Bernd Leno has revealed his Arsenal teammates hate playing against Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.

Leno and Rudiger will team up together this summer when Germany participate in the European Championships.

Asked by Sport1 which national team members were awkward opponents, Leno replied: "Timo Werner is also a disgusting player because he always goes behind the chain and looks for the rooms there," said Leno.

"Antonio Rudiger is also a good example: Everyone at Arsenal has said that it is extremely bitter and difficult to play against him.

"Such players are good for a team and hurt the opponent."
