Chelsea star centre-back Antonio Rudiger has wished Mesut Ozil a happy 30th birthday via social media.
The Germany international uploaded a photo of himself alongside Ozil while on international duty and included the following caption, “Happy birthday bro.”
Antonio Rudiger withdrew from the Germany national team last week due to an injury.
I won't be available for the @dfb_team for the upcoming 2 matches due to a groin problem. I will do some individual training sessions during the int. break and I'm confident to be back soon?? Best of luck to my German teammates for the next 2 games ???? #Hustle #AlwaysBelieve

Mesut Ozil meanwhile quit national team football following a turbulent summer following Germany’s 2018 World Cup exit.
The 29-year-old has remained in north London during the international break and is expected to be fit for the Gunners clash with Leicester City.
