As Chelsea gear up for their FA Cup final showdown against Manchester City at Wembley this weekend, interim boss Calum McFarlane has delivered a major fitness boost for the Blues faithful. The West Londoners are aiming to cap off their campaign with silverware, and key players are ready to step up when it matters most.
Captain Reece James has been passed fit after a strong week of training, putting any injury concerns to rest. "Reece trained well this week, happy with him," McFarlane shared in his pre-match press conference. "Good he got some minutes, and I thought he did well when he came on as well. Largely happy with Reece. We are hopeful he can finish the season in this form."
The positive news doesn't stop there. Levi Colwill, who made his first start of the season in last weekend's draw at Liverpool, is also available for selection. McFarlane added, "It's a similar story with Levi Colwill; he had a really good rehab. A really good training week, and we're really hopeful."
In a further boost, wingers Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho have also been cleared to feature. "Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho have trained really well this week. All positive signs," McFarlane confirmed.
With these key players back in the mix, Chelsea will be looking to bring their A-game to the iconic Wembley stage. The final promises to be a thrilling contest, and the Blues will hope their returning stars can make the difference in the hunt for trophy glory.
