Calum McFarlane drops injury update on two Chelsea stars

Chelsea interim manager Calum McFarlane is hopeful that Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto will be fit for the FA Cup final against Manchester City next weekend.

The Blues ended their six-match losing streak in the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at Liverpool. Enzo Fernandez scored a fortuitous goal in the 35th minute to equalise.

Speaking after the game, McFarlane was asked about the availability of Garnacho and Neto, who have been sidelined with knocks. He was optimistic about them making the FA Cup final squad.

He said: "We're very hopeful. We don't know at the moment."

McFarlane was forced to start with a three-man backline against the Reds earlier today in the absence of several specialist wingers, including Estevao and Jamie Gittens, who are also injured.

Despite this, the Blues produced a good showing away from home and grabbed a point to arrest a run of six straight league defeats. They now face a daunting task against Man City in the FA Cup final.
