David Luiz has suffered yet more frustration after picking up a knock in training, the Mirror reports.
Pictures have emerged in the reports showing Luiz needing treatment during a training session at Cobham. The severity of the injury remains unclear.
Players such as Luiz and Danny Drinkwater have been training at the club’s facilities while some of his team- mates are away on international duty.
This comes as a blow to the Brazilian after he saw his long-term future at the club thrown into doubt after being dropped against Manchester United.
The defender was forced to watch from the stands as Chelsea took all three points at Stamford Bridge against United.
Antonio Conte claimed the decision to leave the former Paris Saint-Germain defender out of the side was purely tactical, but later said that the Brazilian needs to work as hard as those around him to get back into the team.
Various reports have linked with the ‘fall-out’ between Luiz and Conte to the defender’s friendship with Diego Costa, but that does not appear to be the main root of the issue at hand.
