Rudiger starts running as he steps up recovery

Defender Antonio Rudiger has started running again as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.

The Germany international, 23, posted a video on social media on Monday that showed him running for the first time since undergoing surgery on an ACL injury he suffered in June.

Rudiger captioned the video: "First time running in a long time."

After joining the Giallorossi on loan last summer the former Stuttgart man went on to make 30 appearances for the Giallorossi in Serie A, with the club subsequently exercising a clause to make his signing permanent.
