Antonio Rudiger calls Kepa Arrizabalaga 'my brother' as Chelsea stars make-up following training ground scrap

Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea squad are one big happy family again, as Kepa Arrizabalaga and Antonio Rudiger have put their training-ground bust-up behind them.

The Blues' Cobham training ground was a tense place to be the morning after a 5-2 defeat to West Brom at Stamford Bridge last week, and it kicked-off between the two stars.

The German went in for a late tackle on the Spaniard and there was pushing and arguing between the pair, before the centre-back was sent into the dressing-room early by Tuchel.

Wednesday night's 2-0 victory over Porto in the Champions League has certainly lifted the mood, and the pair have now left their spat behind.
