Chelsea have been boosted by the return of Levi Colwill, who put in a brilliant performance against Liverpool in his first start since the Club World Cup final

Reece James also played his first minutes at Anfield since the defeat to Newcastle in March, and both players will be in contention to start at Wembley.

However, the Blues have major issues in the wide areas with Jesse Derry, Jamie Gittens and Estevao all out for the remainder of the season.

Neto and Garnacho have missed the last two games through injury, and The Athletic have reported it’s hoped they’ll be both be available.

However, the report adds it’s far from certain if they will feature at Wembley, meaning Marc Cucurella could continue at left wing.

Neto has scored ten goals and produced eight assists in 49 appearances this season, whilst Garnacho has eight goals and four assists in 41 appearances.
