David Luiz risks Chelsea row over Olympics ambition

David Luiz is risking a row with Chelsea over his Brazilian Olympic ambitions.
The Mirror says the Chelsea defender is hoping the Blues give him the green light to be one of three over-age players in the Brazil squad at this summer's London Games.
Many Premier League clubs are worried about their players’ involvement in the Olympic tournament, with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and Manchester United chief Sir Alex Ferguson already voicing concern.
They fear their men could miss pre-season work while also getting very little break between the end of the current club campaign and the start of pre-Olympic training.
