Antonio Rudiger is a German international, who was signed by Chelsea from AS Roma in 2017 and has been very impressive for them ever since.

He played 45 games for the Blues in all competitions last season and delivered a Man of the Match performance in Chelsea's victory against Manchester United in the 2017/18 FA Cup final.

The 25-year-old has started this season strong as well and is among the top performers for the Blues under Maurizio Sarri. He played in all of Chelsea's opening 12 league games and let the opponents score just eight times against his team.

After struggling for his game time under Antonio Conte last season, David Luiz has started well under the Blues' new manager, Maurizio Sarri and is now among the first names on Chelsea's team-sheets under the Italian.

The 31-year-old played 213 games for the Blues in two spells thus far and won one Premier League title along with one Champions League trophy and one Europa League.
