Rudiger’s mother Lily is from Sierra Leone, while his dad Matthias is a German.
The player was allegedly racially abused on Sunday during the Tottenham Hotspur clash.
He signalled at his captain Cesar Azpilicueta and referee Anthony Taylor that he had been a victim of offensive gestures during the second half of the game.
The uncalled for gestures came after Hotspur player Heung-min Son was sent off for a kick out at Rudiger.
