Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger will receive tests today to uncover the severity of the knee injury that forced him off against Man United yesterday, the Evening Standard report.
The German had to be subbed off in the 65th minute of Sunday’s game after going down holding his knee in innocuous fashion with no one around him.
Things don’t look good for the 26-year-old, as it is suspected that he will be forced to miss the remainder of the season.
He is set to undergo tests sometime today to see how serious the injury could be and whether he will be able to play again in any of Chelsea’s remaining games.

Sarri’s side have some big games still to come in Europe and in their battle for the top four.
Rudiger has been one of his key players so news of this injury will come as a huge body blow to the Blues.
The former Roma centre-back has been ever-present in Chelsea’s league games this season, but he will almost certainly miss their first-leg Europa League semi-final on Thursday.
Chelsea then face Watford in the Premier League on Sunday, before the return leg against Frankfurt and a trip to Leicester on the final day, with Rudiger likely to be a big doubt for each of these games.
