Chelsea star David Luiz has broken his silence after being dropped by Antonio Conte for the side’s clash with Manchester United at the weekend.
It’s understood Luiz and Conte had a bust-up at the club’s training ground in Cobham and there are now serious doubts over the 30-year-old defender’s future at Stamford Bridge.
Reports suggest the Brazilian believes the incident was nothing more than a ‘misunderstanding’ and he’s insisted ‘life is great’ on Instagram amid the growing speculation.
‘Life is great! Thank you and all my fans,’ Luiz told his followers on Monday afternoon.

Antonio Conte claimed his decision to drop Luiz on Sunday was ‘tactical’ but was unable to provide an answer when asked about the centre-back’s future.
‘I don’t know. He has to work really hard otherwise they are on the bench or in the stands,’ Conte said after Chelsea’s victory over United.
‘Christensen for me today played a fantastic game with focus and great spirit. He’s 22 years old but showed a great personality. For sure Christensen is the present and future for Chelsea.
‘The same [is true] for [Ethan] Ampadu. I trust a lot in these two young players.’
