Germany defender Antonio Rudiger will face no further action from Uefa for his 'bite' on France midfielder Paul Pogba during Tuesday night's game.

Chelsea defender Rudiger had said before the game in Munich that the Germans may have to play dirty, and in a bizarre incident with Manchester United's Pogba the defender pressed his open mouth against the back of the French World Cup winner.

Pogba protested to the referee, though no decision was given.

Uefa's disciplinary body assessed reports from the match officials on Wednesday morning before deciding that the 28-year-old Chelsea man had no case to answer.
