Tammy Abraham leaps to defence of ‘big bro’ Chelsea teammate Antonio Rudiger after Frank Lampard axe

Tammy Abraham has played down reports of Chelsea stars causing rifts in the Blues camp which have left many supporters fuming following the sacking of Frank Lampard. 

Lampard was dismissed from his role on Monday following a poor run of form witch had left the Blues ninth in the table once the axe came down on his 18-month tenure.

Following Lampard’s sacking, reports emerged of Rudiger being a prominent source of disruption within the Chelsea ranks, ‘causing issues’ and allegedly ‘clashing’ with club captain Cesar Azpilicueta. 

However Blues striker Abraham has denied of any splits in the camp involving the German defender, who he described as being like a big brother to the Chelsea squad.

‘Hearing some mad stuff about Antonio Rudier on social media today. Complete nonsense. Toni is a big bro to all of us,’ the striker posted on Twitter.

His sentiments were soon echoed by Chelsea striking legend Didier Drogba who backed Abraham’s stance after quote tweeting the England international.

‘Well said Son, THIS IS THE WAYYY!!! Stick together, get results and the fans will forgive you everything. Critics hurts but when you are together it makes tou (sic) stronger and better.’
