Antonio Conte has praised his defender as a “warrior” for continuing to play through the pain barrier.
“He’s playing with this little pain in his knee. But he’s a warrior,” Conte said before the draw against Burnley.
"He's playing very well and I hope he can continue this way. He has a great attitude and a great will to fight despite sometimes having a bit of pain."
The 29-year old is likely to be rested for Saturday’s FA Cup fifth-round match against Wolves, which provides Luiz with a two-week window of recovery before Chelsea return to Premier League action, at home to Swansea.
Да, воин. Да, играет через боль. Да, заслуживает аплодисментов, но разумеется, парню нужен отдых.
Две недели обязательно. ДЛ слишком важен сейчас, а потому максимально избегаем риска обострения болей в колене. Луиза и заменить то особо некем, вот ведь засада
