“David Luiz is a big loss for us,” the Italian boss told the assembled media ranks. “He’s a fantastic central defender, he was in good form, we hope to get him back in two weeks maybe, so hopefully he can be ready for the end of the season.”

In the absence of the Brazilian, Chelsea will line-up with the all English partnership of Gary Cahill and John Terry in the centre of defence.
