Blow for Paphos with Luiz Injury Ahead of Chelsea Clash!

Paphos suffered a blow ahead of their crucial Champions League match against Chelsea, as David Luiz was forced off in the 12th minute of their game against Olympiacos. The Brazilian defender felt discomfort from the 6th minute and, despite trying to continue, was unable to remain on the pitch. Luiz's absence is a significant problem for Paphos, given that the match against Chelsea is just four days away. Luiz has a strong connection with Chelsea, having played for the club for six years with great success. His condition will be closely monitored to determine if he will be able to play against Chelsea.
