Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has declared David Luiz' future at Stamford Bridge uncertain.

The 30-year-old was excluded from Chelsea's matchday squad for the 1-0 win against Manchester United, with Andreas Christensen starting in defence.

Conte suggested that the Brazilian had slacked off and needed to work hard to came back into the team as Christensen 'is the present and future' of Chelsea.

Asked about Luiz, Conte said: "He has to work really hard otherwise he is on the bench or in the stand."

On Luiz's future, Conte added: "I don't know. Christensen is the present and the future for Chelsea."

Brazilian Luiz has played the full 90 minutes in each of Chelsea's past three Premier League games, as well as the 3-0 Champions League defeat by Roma in midweek.

In the 1 - 0 win over United on Sunday, November 5, he was sitting behind the Chelsea bench, with a black scarf wrapped around his head.

He returned for a second spell with the Blues in a £34m move from Paris St-Germain in August 2016 and was part of the team who won the title last season.
