Chelsea boss Di Matteo to give Luiz minutes against Blackburn

David Luiz could see action for Chelsea on Sunday against Blackburn Rovers.

The Guardian says Di Matteo is considering handing Luiz a cameo appearance in Chelsea's final Premier League game of the season, against Blackburn Rovers on Sunday, as the Brazil international seeks to prove his fitness ahead of the Champions League final with Bayern Munich later this month.

Luiz damaged a hamstring chasing down Emmanuel Adebayor during Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final victory over Tottenham Hotspur in mid-April and has been in rehabilitation ever since.
