Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel on Tuesday hailed Antonio Rudiger and Kepa Arrizabalaga for showing "courage" to make amends after a training ground bust-up. The manager confirmed that Germany defender Rudiger and Spain goalkeeper Kepa had clashed -- but insisted the matter was finished. 

Chelsea were thumped 5-2 by West Brom on Saturday, paying a hefty price for Thiago Silva's red card and eventually slipping out of the Premier League's top four. The Blues face Porto in Seville in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg, with Tuchel adamant the Cobham training-ground incident was behind them. "It was nothing to do with the defeat, it was just an incident in training. It got heated up between Toni and Kepa," said Tuchel.
