Chelsea receives a significant boost ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City, with three key players returning to action. Robert Sanchez, Pedro Neto, and Alejandro Garnacho, who all missed recent fixtures, are back in contention. Sanchez, the goalkeeper, sustained a head injury during the May 4th match against Nottingham Forest, while wingers Neto and Garnacho sat out the last two games after starting in the semi-final clash with Leeds.

“Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho have trained well this week. They look good. The same goes for Sanchez. He’s also trained well, and we’re optimistic for Saturday.”

“We’ll aim to replicate the performance we showed against Leeds and Liverpool, but this is a big game that we hope to win. We’re playing against an excellent team with an excellent coach. We need to be at our very best. This is an FA Cup final, so we want to win it. The competition is immense, prestigious, and the club has a rich history in this tournament, having won it eight times. Our focus is on performing as well as possible against a top-class opponent,” stated Chelsea’s interim manager, Callum Macfarlane, during his press conference.

When questioned about recent rumors linking Chelsea with Xabi Alonso, Macfarlane responded: “There are many names being linked with the job. It’s not my place to say who should get it or who is a good manager and who isn’t. My job is to prepare the team for Saturday, and that’s all I’m going to focus on.”
