A quarter-final date with Leicester now awaits in the FA Cup, with Germany international defender Rudiger determined to end his debut season in England with tangible reward.<\/p>\n

He told Chelsea\u2019s official website<\/em>: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what the competition is, if you have the chance to win a trophy you have to go for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to reach Wembley but before that we must go to Leicester, give it our best and try to win the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarcelona is in the past now. We have to look forward. The FA Cup is still on for us, we have to go for it and that starts on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rudiger is aware that Chelsea will need to be at their best against Leicester, having already taken in two tight tussles with the Foxes this season.<\/p>\n
