David Luiz is adamant football should remain a contact sport and players do not need more protection from referees, rules or VAR.
The Arsenal defender was talking at the end of a week when his Liverpool counterpart Virgil van Dijk was ruled out for a lengthy period following a challenge by Everton keeper Jordan Pickford last weekend.
Luiz lines up in Sunday's late kick off against Leicester ready to risk injury as part of the perils of his profession.
'It's a game with contact,' he said.
