Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has revealed that Brazilian star David Luiz is close to recovering from his knee injury.

Luiz, 30, is close to recovering fully from his knee injury but is not quite ready yet for Stoke this weekend.

The centre-back has been out injured since the end of October after being dropped by Conte, which has led to mass speculation that the defender is on his way out of the club.

Luiz has recently returned to training however and has been spotted on the Chelsea TV Youtube channel training on his own. But he is now almost ready to return after two months on the sidelines and will likely start in the Fa Cup fixture against Norwich on January 6.

Conte said: “All the players are available – the same players in the last game are available.

“And about Musonda and Luiz, I think they are improving a lot and I think their recovery is very close. ‘I don’t know if [they will be ready for] the next game but for sure the game against Norwich. For sure Luiz and Musonda will be available.’
