David Luiz: Everyone at Chelsea believes in Sarri - we still have an amazing future

The Blues centre-back has become a leader at Stamford Bridge and strongly defended his under-fire boss amid reports he could soon lose his job

David Luiz says that Maurizio Sarri has the backing of the Chelsea dressing room amid rumours of discontent after recent high-profile away defeats.

The 31-year-old started in the 2-1 away win against Malmo in the Europa League on Thursday night, as the Blues got back to winning ways after a 6-0 drubbing away to Manchester City in the Premier League at the weekend.

The defeat was Chelsea's worst in 28 years and added to growing concern that Sarri is not getting his footballing ideas across to his squad.
