David Luiz still positive despite being dropped from Chelsea squad after bust-up with Antonio Conte
The Brazilian is due back at training on Wednesday following his row with Blues boss Conte
DAVID LUIZ still managed to smile - despite Antonio Conte plunging his Chelsea future into doubt.
The Brazilian is due back at training on Wednesday following his bust-up with Blues boss Conte.
But he did not appear to be letting things get him down after Conte axed him for the win over Manchester United.
Luiz posed with his superfan outside the club's Cobham training ground and posted a video on social media with the caption: "Life is great! Thank you and all my fans."
The Brazil defender was banished to the stands on Sunday, after questioning Conte's tactics in a team meeting after the 3-0 loss to Roma on Tuesday.
Boss Conte said: "It's very simple. He can get on with the others, or he can sit in the stands.
