Chelsea Star Has A Message For Antonio Conte Over David Luiz Feud

Chelsea's Brazilian defender David Luiz was an absentee in their last league game before the International break as Chelsea were narrow winners against Manchester United. Eden Hazard has stressed the importance of the centre-back in the Chelsea squad following the much talked about fall out with the manager.

Although Conte insisted his decision to pick Andreas Christensen ahead of David Luiz was a tactical one, the Italian said after the game that he was unsure of Luiz's future at Stamford Bridge (is he sure of his own??). The manager-player bust up has been largely linked to Chelsea's game v. Roma about a fortnight ago when the English Champions were drubbed 3-0.

When asked who was the biggest joker in the Chelsea squad Hazard replied to Soccer AM 'Luiz, The geezer, always smiling, so he's in a good mood all the time.

'It's good to have people like this in the team.'

David Luiz has been permitted to train with the group but relationship with the manager is far from getting better since September. In Chelsea's two games against Roma they conceded six goals a slight on Antonio Conte's reputation. The 3-0 loss in Rome was only the third time Conte lost by that score-line which is his joint biggest defeat. Chelsea's victory over United and a clean sheet in Luiz's absence was a political victory for Conte over his player.

Manchester United Ready To Offload Midfielder

According to Mirror Manchester United has told Jose Mourinho that he must sell before he buys and Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini will be first outta the exit door in January to make way for Jose's dream signing.

The report claims the big Belgian should be on his way out of Old Trafford in seven weeks time as Mourinho plans to further reshape his squad. Fellaini turns 30 in ten days time and is also out of contract in June 2018 and the Old Trafford club is said to have agreed an £8million deal with Besiktas.

Fellaini will not be the last departure from Manchester United as the Portuguese plans to keep his squad in shape in the title race and despite praising the Belgian after United's defeat at Stamford Bridge it appears the manager's mind is made up.

Ameobi was inducted alongside ex-England International Les Ferdinand in recognition of their achievements while at the club.

Ameobi who is currently employed by Notts County feels honoured to be inducted by his boyhood club and wants to help youngsters fulfill their dreams.

"To get a chance to do this is such a dream come true and to get a chance to share it with so many passionate people in this passionate football city, it just means such a lot.

"I grew up watching the likes of Rob Lee and Nikos Dabizas, who are also here at the dinner, and they inspired me - and I just want to be able to help inspire youngsters now."
