David
Luiz will be fit for Chelsea's Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid
despite a broken wrist, according to Antonio Conte.
Luiz suffered the injury when he collided with advertising boards during
Sunday's goalless draw with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
A red card later in the same game meant the centre-half missed Wednesday's
League Cup win over Nottingham Forest, and suspension will keep him out of
Chelsea's next two Premier League games.
The Brazil international is eligible for European competition, though, and
Conte expects him to play in Spain on Wednesday.
"He must be okay," Conte said. "David is an important player for us. For
sure he will be ready for the game against Atletico Madrid."
Chelsea will go to Madrid top of Group C having beaten Qarabag 6-0 in their
opening game.
