Tendonitis forces Chelsea defender David Luiz out of Brazil friendly against Germany

Chelsea defender David Luiz will not be fit to take part in Brazil's showpiece friendly against Germany in Stuttgart on Wednesday.

Luiz, who represented his country in the recent Copa America in Argentina, has a minor knee problem and will now focus on ensuring his full fitness for the start of the Premier League season next week.

"Defender David Luiz, who has tendonitis in his left knee, is unavailable for the Brazilian national team's friendly against Germany," read a statement on the Brazilian football federation website.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas acknowledged the problem followingthe club's 3-1 friendly win over Rangers on Saturday afternoon but does not believe it is too serious.

"David Luiz should get back to training soon," he told Chelsea's official website. "He felt a slight pain in his knee in his first training session after he came back.

"It's something he didn't feel in the Copa America and it's not the reason why he didn't play. That was just the manager's decision.

"But he's only had half-an-hour training with us, although he should get back this week to full training."

Chelsea begin their season with a trip to the Britannia Stadium to face Stoke City next Sunday.

Mikel??

[Rambo 1,729]

The Mikel injury shouldn't be too serious, I expect him to play vs. Stoke.

Mikel seemed like he just twisted his elbow, he should be fine.

DL4, according to SSN, is a doubt for the Stoke match due to his knee injury.

Not going to lie, I spent a good few seconds trying to decipher what DL4 meant

Luiz has to get back into match fitness first anyway. Doubt he makes an appearance in first couple of weeks.

Latest reports say that it was a concussion, that he was taken of as a precaution and that he's feeling fine now. They are gonna take him to a CAT scan just to make sure.

Said he was initially a little confused but now doing well.

[Kojo 4,676]

Glad I'm wrong, let's hope he's okay still though.

USELESS FUCKING INTERNATIONAL MATCHES :redcard: :rant: :rant:

[magic weeds 446]

TVE news: Fernando is out of the hospital. Everything's alright.

On the other hand, our injuries are mounting. We will be without David Luiz, Ivanovic and possibly Mikel. Alex is not even fit for the game as he has had very short preseason with the rest of the team.

[Sheva. 5,373]

FFS.

Ferreira as CB again? lol

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Rajko could be playing if he can get his work permit sorted by the Stoke game, which looks unlikely

[BlueLion. 21,491]

And some people wanted us to sell another centre-back!

Ivanovic seemed fine against Rangers, what is allegedly up with him? He got a 'throat infection' like Frank?

[Kajo 176]

Torres and Lampard are probably fine. What about Brana, Mikel, DL and Alex ?
