Antonio Rudiger insists he’s “not satisfied” with his role at Chelsea

Blues defender Antonio Rudiger has confessed he’s ‘not satisfied’ with his current role at Chelsea as he looks ahead at a January exit.

The German defender, 27, has fallen behind Thiago Silva, Kurt Zouma and Andreas Christensen in Frank Lampard’s pecking order this season.

Rudiger has played just ONCE in the Premier League this season, while featuring in four Champions League games.

The centre-back – who has seen his time at Stamford Bridge plagued by injuries – has been linked with a January move having failed to secure a switch in the summer.

Rudiger told German outlet ZDF: “I can’t be satisfied with my situation, but the fight has been accepted.

“What will happen in January is a long way off.

“I’m completely relaxed.”
