Tennis ace Maria Sharapova has offered her congratulations to Chelsea defender David Luiz after he was called up to the Brazil squad for this summer's World Cup.
Luiz will join his Chelsea teammates Oscar, Willian and Ramires in his homeland as they prepare to host the global tournament in June.
The defender is likely to have received a number of congratulatory messages, but one of which came from Russian former world number one Sharapova.
She posted a photo of herself on Twitter holding up a Brazil football shirt, with the message: "@davidluiz_4 congrats 4 making the final squad!Working on how I can get yellow&green into my look #DareToBeBrazilian."
