Germany defender Antonio Rudiger has been ruled out of Euro 2016 after damaging his cruciate ligament in training.
The 23-year-old full-back had been set to take part in his first major international tournament after impressing while on loan at Roma this season.
Despite his signing a permanent contract with the Giallorossi, Goal understands that he remains a transfer target for Chelsea, although the extent of his injury could now potentially affect any move to Stamford Bridge.
Rudiger suffered the injury during a public training session on Tuesday which neither of Sami Khedira or Jerome Boateng completed as well, though the latter pair were understood to be merely taking precautionary measures.
