Footage has emerged of Chelsea defender David Luiz throwing an elbow at Gonzalo Higuain in training yesterday.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri threw his cap to the ground, picked it back up, walked off and tossed it away again on Tuesday.

This all came just hours before he takes his side into battle against Arsenal in the Europa League final.

A Chelsea spokesperson later claimed Sarri's walkout was due to the presence of the media, reports The Sun.

He had assumed the players would be able to practice set pieces — and indeed penalties — for the last 15 minutes of training ahead of their showpiece clash with Arsenal.

But with journalists and cameramen at close hand, Sarri was not able to prepare any surprise set plays.
