Chelsea defender David Luiz has admitted that he was still struggling with injury two days before the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
The Brazilian centre-back started the clash along with Gary Cahill, who were both doubts for the final, but managed to complete a full 90 minutes as well as half an hour of extra time during the Blues' victory at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
"I was out for 35 days and I came back but, two days before the final, I had pain again in my leg and there was a chance that maybe I wasn't going to play," said Luiz.
"The day before, I had a test to see if I could play and then I ended up playing 120 minutes. It was a bad situation but I worked hard all of my life."
Meanwhile, Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has suggested that he might leave Stamford Bridge this summer following a frustrating season.
