Germany international Antonio Rudiger is unlikely to return to the starting lineup for the forthcoming league clash against Norwich City on the road.
The centre-back has been stepping up his fitness after recovering from a knee injury but he may not necessarily make the first XI at Carrow Road.

Chelsea are currently 15th on the table with just one point on the board.
