DBasia.news – After being absent throughout the 2019/2020 season, Antonio Rudiger is rumored to be returning to Chelsea’s backline immediately. His teammate, Kurt Zouma also welcomed the news of Rudiger’s return. Zouma believes that the German international will be very important for Chelsea’s defense.
Rudiger is expected to be in top form in the next few games. Not without reason, Zouma was so enthusiastic to see Rudiger comeback. The reason is since last November Chelsea failed to maintain a clean sheet record.
Frank Lampard’s backline is not uncommon to get criticism. Zouma understands, Rudiger is one of the central defenders who relied on the Stamford Bridge camp.
“Rudiger is an important player for us,” Zouma said on the club’s official website after the defeat of Everton in the English Premier League some time ago.
“He is a very experienced player, and we know the quality he has,” added the defender who had played in the French Ligue 1.
According to Zouma, Rudiger will be able to re-solidify the backline of Lampard’s squad for the rest of the season.
“It’s really nice to find him back, he has no more pain and he feels good now, so he can help us in the next matches,” concluded Zouma.
