DAVID LUIZ is targeting Chelsea’s top four tussle with Tottenham for his comeback after visiting Spain for a cure for his knee injury.
The Brazilian defender is confident he will be fit for Chelsea’s first game after the international break when they are at home to fierce rivals Spurs on April Fool’s Day.
Luiz has not played since Chelsea’s 4-1 defeat at Watford on February 5 because of a knee problem which has dogged him for much of the season.
He even flew to Spain to see a specialist for further treatment in a bid to play his part in the run-in to the campaign.
Luiz has found it difficult to force his way into the first team this season under Chelsea boss Antonio Conte but is keen to play his part.
The outgoing Premier League champions sit five points behind Tottenham with eight games to go. Both teams are out of this year’s Champions League so need a top four finish to regain entry next season.
