Chelsea have received a boost with David Luiz missing out on Olympics selection for Brazil.
Luiz was in line to be one of Brazil's over-age players, but coach Mano Menezes went with Marcelo (Real Madrid), Thiago Silva (AC Milan) and Hulk (Porto).
Luiz was widely expected to make the final 18-man squad, but he missed out to Real Madrid full-back Marcelo.
