Chelsea are reportedly open to selling centre backs Antonio Rudiger and Fikayo Tomori in January.

The centre backs have played just one Premier League game each so far this season, with Frank Lampard persevering with the partnership of veteran Thiago Silva and Kurt Zouma.

With Rudiger eyeing a spot in Germany's squad for next summer's European Championships and Tomori keen to kickstart his first-team career again, Lampard is open to allowing both players to leave the club next month, according to ESPN.
