Chelsea defender David Luiz faces missing out on a debut against Liverpool.
The Daily Mail says Luiz's hopes of a Chelsea debut against Liverpool on Sunday are fading after he was forced to make an 11,000-mile round trip to finalise his work permit.
The Brazil defender jetted home on Wednesday to get his permit rubber-stamped ahead of his Barclays Premier League debut. Chelsea officials insist there are no problems and that the trip is standard procedure.
The 23-year-old will be eligible to play Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, but whether Carlo Ancelotti will throw his £25million signing into the potentially explosive clash is unclear.
