Scary Aguero tackle hurt Luiz, says Conte

Antonio Conte says he was "scared" by Sergio Aguero's knee high challenge on David Luiz after Chelsea's 3-1 victory away to Manchester City last Saturday.

The Manchester City forward is banned for four games after his second red card of the season, while Luiz is expected to face West Brom, despite the severity of the challenge with both clubs being charged for failure to control their players after the challenge sparked anger on the field.

Conte has grown more unhappy since rewatching the tackle on replays during the week and will perform late fitness check on Luiz, who had to train alone to aide his recovery during the week.
