Chelsea defender, Antonio Rudiger will wear a face mask against Real Madrid

Chelsea will host Real Madrid in the second leg of the semi final of the UEFA Champions League. 

If you recall that the first leg in Spain ended up in a 1-1 draw after Karim Benzema canceled Christian Pulisic goal. 

Ahead of the game, it's been gathered that Chelsea's defender Antonio Rudiger might be playing with a face mask in the game. 

This is because the German international suffered a face injury in the first leg. 

Speaking ahead of the game, Thomas Tuchel believes that Rudiger will be fine to play the game despite the mask. 

𝗧𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 said: ‘I think Toni will be fine to play with a mask and he has been training with us.'

It's been gathered that the game is expected to kick off at 8pm GMT.
