Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta insists there's no rift with Toni Rudiger.
It's been claimed Azpilicueta has clashed with Rudiger over the season amid suggestions the German has been a disruptive influence.
But speaking for the first time since the accusations against Rudiger surfaced, the Chelsea captain has moved to clarify the pair's working relationship.
"With Toni, we didn't have an issue and we have been working together for a few years," Azpilicueta said.
"That news from outside, we're not sure so that's why Tammy and myself we both tweeted.
"Everything is fine and I can say that didn't happen. We didn't have any issues and we don't have. We always work together. As other players, we have sometimes our discussions, normal in football.
"When results are not going well, everybody has more tension around but nothing further than this.
"Normal footballers like normal workers in their offices or with other jobs with pressure who have to deliver and nothing further than this. There is not an issue, we are so committed."
