The German defender appeared on camera to have made contact with his mouth on France midfielder Pogba's back in Tuesday's Group F opener match.
Manchester United man Pogba initially reacted in shock after the referee failed to punish Rudiger, but later he insisted the Chelsea player should face no punishment.
Rudiger has now come out to clarify the situation, insisting he didn’t bite Pogba, and the Chelsea defender is understood to harbor regrets over the incident.
"I should not come close with my mouth to his back, no doubt about it," Rudiger said.
"It looks unfortunate. Paul and I have talked about it as friends after the final whistle."
