According to news from the Irish Independent, Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger was involved in a bust-up in training with Kepa. The German defender had to be sent home by Thomas Tuchel.
Things were bound to be a little hot with Chelsea encountering their first loss under Thomas Tuchel, especially with the defeat coming against West Brom. Understandably tempers were high and it spilt into the training session.
It has been claimed that Rudiger and Kepa were involved in the training ground bust-up and it rose from a friendly game. Rudiger supposedly went in for a late challenge at Kepa, something which the keeper did not take well.
Things quickly escalated, with both players pushing and shoving each other and then finally being separated by the players and staff. With Rudiger still not looking calm, Tuchel had to ask him to leave the training while Kepa stayed on to complete the remaining minutes.
It is also understood that Rudiger later apologised for the same to Kepa and Tuchel was happy in the end. Training ground bust-ups are nothing new, with teammates getting into arguments and altercations, the important thing now is that it is resolved.
