According to David Ornstein, the club told interested parties in the summer that they wanted a £5 million loan fee plus full coverage of the wages - believed to be around £150k per week - for a loan deal for Rudiger. Everton, Spurs, AC Milan, Inter, Roma and Barcelona all expressed some form of interest.

Antonio Rudiger held constructive talks with Frank Lampard about his recall to the Chelsea squad at the weekend and hopes to be given a chance to prove he can resurrect his career at the club.

German international Rudiger had been left out of Lampard’s matchday squads since the opening Premier League victory over Brighton and almost left Chelsea during the summer transfer window.

Having seen a potential loan move to Tottenham Hotspur fail to materialise, Rudiger was still named in Chelsea’s Champions League and Premier League squads, and he was on the 12-man substitutes’ bench for the draw with Sevilla.

But, following positive talks with Lampard, Rudiger was also one of Chelsea’s seven substitutes for the goalless Premier League draw at Manchester United and the 27-year-old has vowed to do everything in his power to try to force his way back into the team.

Telegraph Sport understands Rudiger has trained well since returning from international duty with Germany and that he has attempted to remain positive around Chelsea’s Cobham training base.

Lampard has five senior centre-backs at the club, together with captain Cesar Azpilicueta who started as part of Chelsea’s back three against United. Both Andreas Christensen and Fikayo Tomori missed out on places on the bench.

Chelsea travel to Russia to face Krasnodar in the Champions League on Wednesday night for a game that Lampard will consider making some changes to his team.

It remains to be seen whether or not 36-year-old Thiago Silva can play three games in a week in the middle of such a busy schedule, while Kurt Zouma has started every game since the 3-3 draw at West Bromwich Albion.

Should Lampard decide to rest one of his first-choice centre-backs in Russia, then Rudiger may get a chance to make his first Chelsea appearance of the season.

Rudiger will reassess his situation again in January, but now hopes to get enough opportunities to remain with Chelsea until the end of the season when he will have only one year remaining on his contract.

Chelsea had wanted Rudiger to extend his current deal to go on loan in the last transfer window, but talks between his representatives and the club never got off the ground.

Rudiger knows he cannot sit in the stands or on the bench all season if he wants to play in next summer’s European Championships for Germany, but believes he will be granted more playing time over the coming weeks.

So now after Zouma and Silva have now two clean sheets in a row, we will now throw Toni again into the starting line?
His last match for Germany was so bad that even German media was criticizing him for his performance.

Zouma has been overall very poor on balance, and certainly is not only NOT the major factor for the clean sheets, but also has crippled us on offence and put us in danger multiple times with his shit passing and ball play.

Solid comeback. Kept things simple. The game was alright for him as he helped keeping a clean sheet + Silva fresh. But he really is a ticking time bomb. Today we were lucky we were playing such a poor side overall. But Rüdiger and Zouma made Krasnodars anyway slow attack look like absolute sloths.

And we are on the brink of selling Tomori...

I wonder why nobody has talked about Matt Law and his comments on Toni. 

I have wondered if it was true or not.

I guess it is well known he is an outspoken and influential character in the dressing room. Tuchel was wise to get him on his side early.

But we know that Rüdiger's qualities on the pitch do not quite match his attitude. Seriously doubt he will again be an undisputed starter in the long term.

Anyway, good to have you back!

I think he meant the story about Rudiger bullying the younger players, clashing with Azpi etc? 

If so, that has been rebutted by Abraham, Azpi etc.
