The defender’s fate will be decided at the very last moment: the medical team has scheduled a late fitness test for Tosin right before kick-off. Only after the assessment will it be clear whether the centre-back can take to the pitch. Given the importance of the trophy and the calibre of the opposition, any loss in Chelsea’s defensive line could prove critical for the Blues.

It’s worth noting that the FA Cup final against Manchester City is set to kick off tomorrow, May 16, at 16:00 Central European Time.

Reminder: Chelsea striker João Pedro could miss the World Cup due to Neymar.
