In a last-minute twist before tomorrow's FA Cup final, Chelsea has been hit with a fresh injury concern from their final training session. According to Sky Sports, defender Tosin Adarabioyo is now a doubt for the highly anticipated clash, with reports indicating he faces a "late fitness test" to determine his availability.
Sky Sports' Lyall Thomas broke the news this afternoon, confirming that Tosin "picked up an injury" during training and is currently considered questionable for the match. This development comes as a blow to interim manager Calum McFarlane, especially after Tosin played a key role in Chelsea's run to the final. He started and kept a clean sheet in the 1-0 semi-final victory over Leeds United, and retained his place for the subsequent match against Nottingham Forest before being substituted at halftime.
However, Chelsea fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The injury shouldn't derail the team's plans too significantly, as Levi Colwill is expected to be fit for the final. Additionally, Wesley Fofana is also available, providing ample cover in defense. While Tosin might have been used as a late substitute or even pushed up front in a desperate search for goals, his absence is unlikely to force a major tactical overhaul.
This news adds an extra layer of drama to what promises to be a thrilling finale. As Chelsea prepares for the big game, all eyes will be on the final fitness test to see if Tosin can shake off the knock and make a late bid for inclusion. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to kickoff!
