Pedro Neto

Pedro (knock) returned to training this week and could be an option for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City, according to coach Calum McFarlane. "Neto and Garnacho have trained well this week, so both looking really good. We're really hopeful with them as well. So, positive signs"

Analysis: Pedro's return to the training pitch is an encouraging development after missing Chelsea's last two fixtures with the knock. The Portuguese winger has scored five goals and provided four assists across 32 Premier League appearances this season, and his availability for the FA Cup final would be a significant boost for interim coach Calum McFarlane heading into Saturday's showpiece fixture.

Ruled out Saturday

Neto (knock) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.

Analysis: Neto has been ruled out after interim coach Calum McFarlane confirmed he was unlikely to be available, with the knock that kept him out of Monday's fixture against Nottingham Forest proving too significant to overcome in time. The Portuguese winger has scored five goals and provided four assists across 32 Premier League appearances this season, making his continued absence a notable concern for Chelsea as the season enters its final stretch. Cole Palmer is expected to start on the right wing in his place, with Neto's availability for the coming fixtures to be monitored closely.
