Chelsea defender, Trevoh Chalobah, has disclosed that fellow teammate, Antonio Rudiger, helped him to become a key player in Thomas Tuchel’s squad at Stamford Bridge.
Chalobah said Rudiger has been a very big mentor to him since he joined Chelsea.
According to him, the Germany international took him in and helped him in training sessions even when he went on loan.
The 22-year-old said this ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Juventus on Tuesday.
“Antonio [Rudiger] has been a very big mentor for me since I first came here,” Chalobah, who shares Sierra Leonean heritage with Rudiger, was quoted by Chelsea’s official website as saying.
“He took me in and helped me in training sessions. When I went out on loan, he told me what was needed.
“Now’s it’s good to share the same pitch with him.”
