David Luiz was reunited with an "inspirational" youngster this week when Chelsea hosted their Community Day at the Cobham Training Ground.
James Middlehurst, who plays for the Team GB amputee football team, touched the heart of Luiz during Chelsea's annual Christmas visit to Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.
As well as sending James the shirt he wore in the recent victory over Stoke City, Luiz invited the eight-year-old to watch the first team train as wll as giving him a set of boots.

"James is a big example for us all and an inspiration," Luiz told www.chelseafc.com. "We met at the hospital and it was an incredible day.
"He asked to meet me and it was a pleasure that we could make it happen and it changed my life. I am delighted to see him doing so well."
