Antonio Rudiger was not in the squad to face Burnley on Monday, but that didn’t stop him getting on camera.
The Germany international went off injured against Liverpool and still hasn’t played a minute yet, but wearing his civilian clothes he got involved on the sidelines against the Burnley bench.
They had allegedly insulted Maurizio Sarri, and so the former Roma man decided he wasn’t taking it. It was just handbags in the end, but the fact he cared enough to stick his neck out for his boss was… something? Sometimes we just want to see a little passion out there.

Antonio Rüdiger was out there defending his manager dignity refusing to be insulted at his home. You can say he isn’t that world-class defender okay but he’s a captain material 💙 #CFC pic.twitter.com/4qd1Vee6EP
