# Chelsea to split fee for flight back home for Brazil stars

According to a report from [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-chelsea-manchester-city-share-9247855) today, Chelsea are looking set to split the cost of Brazil’s flight home from international duty for their key duo David Luiz and Willian.

The report suggests that The Blues are to split the £120k flight fee, with respective help from Premier League clubs Manchester City and Chelsea to get their group of players home.

Liverpool will be hoping that Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino can return to the club as soon as they possibly can, with City looking to have key midfielder Fernandinho back in contention to play at the weekend.

Luiz and Willian are likely to be needed by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte as he gets his side prepared for what promises to be a difficult test at the Riverside Stadium, away at Middlesbrough.

Experienced defender Luiz has been more of a mainstay in the starting line-up than Willian has, but having both players fit and ready to go will be key for Conte.
