Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger in World Cup training bust-up after wiping out Joshua Kimmich
ANTONIO RUDIGER showed no mercy during a Germany training session as the Chelsea defender continued preparations ahead of the World Cup.
Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger was involved in a heated exchange with Bayern Munich full-back Joshua Kimmich as Germany continued World Cup preparations.
The athletic centre-back was in a competitive mood, hassling Kimmich throughout the session before clattering him with a strong challenge.
The pair squared up to each other (pictured below) and appeared to go head-to-head before legend-turned-coach Miroslav Klose broke up the scuffle.
Elsewhere during yesterday's session, Julian Draxler caught a stray elbow to the face from one of his team-mates and was visibly shaken by the incident.
