Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was left furious yesterday over claims of a rift with David Luiz.
Conte blasted as nonsense suggestions he has fallen out with the Brazilian and insisted the defender is only out of the team because he is injured.
The Italian said: “To stop this, I think it's right to call the doctor and to have a conference with the doctor. I think this is a good idea.
“I understand that someone is thinking that I'm not telling the truth. I'm disappointed about this, but I can understand it.
“I'm disappointed because I like to tell you the truth at every moment. I'd like to tell you a bad truth rather than a good lie.
“I think we can call the doctor and organise a conference with the doctor for him to explain the medical situation of all my players.
“In this way I can avoid having to answer this question, avoid the creation of this atmosphere of 'it's not true what he's telling us'."
