Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte still does not know when central defender David Louis will be able to return to the line-up.

The last time David Luis played for Chelsea in the Premier League in October. Earlier it was reported that the Brazilian had a conflict with head coach Antonio Conte, although the Italian insists that Louis just a knee injury.

"David's knee was badly inflamed, and our doctor is trying to understand this situation. It is very important to assess this problem on a daily basis and try to solve it, "said Comte.

"I do not know when he will be ready to return to the system, but no doubt our doctor and the medical staff are trying to understand this situation".

"The player works separately, and he spent the last days in the pool. Today he was on the field and tried to run a little, but did it very slowly. This is a serious problem, but we hope to solve it as soon as possible ".

"Each player is upset if he does not play, especially when he has an injury.

Of course, because of the injury there is a strong disappointment, because every player wants to train and have the opportunity to complicate the choice of the coach. I understand this because I myself was a player and was injured. I felt terrible and was disappointed, because I wanted to be able to train, compete for a place in the composition, but injuries are part of the profession ".

In the current season, 30-year-old Louis played for Chelsea 12 matches in all tournaments, which scored two goals, received four yellow and one red card.
