Chelsea defender Luiz visits Barcelona clinic for injured knee

Chelsea are doing everything to salvage David Luiz's season.

According to Sky Sports, the Brazilian has twice flown to Barcelona for treatment on his injured knee.

The 30-year-old is reportedly aiming for an exit from the club this summer. But in the meantime, his services will be needed as the Blues are still competing on three fronts, including the all-important Premier League top-four race.

Luiz has featured just ten times in the Premier League this season.

A stalwart in Conte's backline last season, Luiz has been relegated to the bench by the Italian to make way for Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger.
