David Luiz will be glad he was playing in Brazil rather than a
wintry England as he was forced into some emergency kit change during
their Confederations Cup win over Mexico.
In the first half Luiz was trying to clear a free-kick but ended up heading his skipper Thiago Silva in front of him.
He was left holding his nose as blood poured out, looking very groggy as struggling to keep his eyes open.
