In a major update ahead of the FA Cup final, interim manager Calum McFarlane has offered a promising—but cautious—injury update on two key attackers, Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho.

Speaking after Chelsea's hard-fought draw against Liverpool, where the team was forced to change formation due to a depleted attacking lineup, McFarlane addressed the status of his two left wing options. Both players had been sidelined with what were described as "knocks" before Monday's match, leaving the squad short on firepower.

"Yeah, we are very hopeful," McFarlane said when asked about their chances of being available for the final. "You have to take these things day by day. We're hoping that they'll be available, but we don't know at this moment in time. They're going to get back into training, see how they feel, see how it looks. So, fingers crossed."

With nearly two weeks of recovery time between Monday's game and the final, there's growing optimism that both players could be fit. It now appears to be a race against time to get them back in shape to not just feature, but potentially start the season's biggest match.

In other team news, Levi Colwill delivered a standout performance against Liverpool, racking up impressive stats that underline his growing influence at the back. Meanwhile, Marc Cucurella made it clear the squad wasn't satisfied with just a draw—they felt they were close to a win and wanted it badly.

For fans tracking every update ahead of the final, the next few days will be crucial in determining just how many attacking weapons Chelsea will have at their disposal.
