Antonio Rudiger is ready and fit to play against Lille in Tuesday’s
Champions League fixture.
He also said that he was happy to have the Germany
international back in his squad to tackle the Ligue 1 side.
Lampard’s men head to the game following a 3-1 defeat to
Everton in the Premier League over the weekend.
“It’s good to have him back,” Lampard told the assembled media
at his press conference today.
“He’s been training really well. He’s got a lot of his fitness work
done, his injury has healed,” Lampard was quoted by Chelsea’s
official website as saying in his pre-match press conference on
Monday.
“It will potentially be difficult for him [to return after a long time
out], but our guard against that was to give him a lot of work. We
have managed to create some things behind the scenes here in
training that look like matchplay, and some pure running as well.
He has come through all that.
“You can only speak as you look at him, and he looks fit and
ready to go, and I know he’s hungry. In terms of building him up,
rightly so, he’s a good defender. People maybe overlook the fact
we started the season with five big players all injured for a period
of time. You do miss those individuals, so let’s see what he can
add to us,” he added.
