Frank Lampard has denied that Antonio Rudiger is fit to return for Chelsea, revealing the centre-back is set to see a consultant on Monday.
Rudiger was forced off at half-time in Chelsea's 5-2 victory over Wolves on September 14, which remains his only appearance for the first team since sustaining a knee injury in April.
The 26-year-old was widely reported as saying he was "itching" to play after returning to fitness following the groin issue suffered against Wolves.
